Edit: I didn’t post the following quotes to say he’s a communist. He’s pivoting to centre-left positions with his rhetoric and 6 year plan. He called for reducing poverty by 2% in 6 years and for progressive taxation on the rich.

The true elite are all those serving Russia. Workers and soldiers, reliable, trustable, who have proven their devotion to Russia, the worthy people.

“The very word ‘elite’ has largely been discredited by those who, having no merit to society, consider themselves to be some kind of a caste with special rights and privileges. I specifically mean those who, in previous years, filled their pockets through all sorts of processes in the economy of the 1990s. Those are definitely not the elite,” the president said.

      People can reply and point out how and why it’s BS and others can learn and not fall for it again.

      Not sure the difference between propaganda and BS propaganda, but I would hope my comrades could post anything here because we should be able to critically analyze any propaganda from any source.

      What’s the point of this community if we blindly parrot anti-russia talking points that everyone to the right of us already says?

      @FamousPlan101@lemmygrad.ml, thank you for editing your post to add context/analysis. Without it, I worry people coming here from other Lemmy instances might get the wrong idea.
