    Communist and fascist themed radical liberalism in the format of gangs. Both are likely funded by Brussels and by extension Washington to poison the well and reinforce the neoliberalist status quo there. Just a guess though. They have a tendency to do these things. MTG and MAGA taking an anti-imperialist stance against Ukraine for example.

    Then there’s the international perspective to understand. Maupin and Dugin are symptoms of the Russian bourgeoisie attempting to harness at times fascism and “communism” for their own interests. The CIA do this with anarchist adventurism, social left tendencies, and other threads of radical liberalism to further US bourgeois interests.

    Regardless, gangs essentially only benefit gangs. Even when scraps are achieved it’s due to going about it in the wrong way that can never lead very far so even in the short term they’re toxic ideologically. Materially they can be beneficial in the short run but that comes with the risk of the beneficiaries not knowing the difference and coming out of the experience thinking gangs are the way to go. Not to mention East Germany becoming a war ground for NATO vs Russia, although considering the history of the geography I’m not so sure that’s avoidable in any case.
