^ Kojima always have original ideas! Looks really interesting. -
I love that wikipedia says "Communism (...) is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology". Ok.... "Left to far-left" Communism is totally far-left, but I guess the wikipedia's writers wanted to water down the perception of this crazy ideology. Typical wikipedia Communism is not just about economics (at least wikipedia agrees on this point), it's also a sociopolitical movement whose aim is total control of society. They can't achieve communism without strong government control. Otherwise, their regime can't hold, pockets of "capitalism" will recreate. Communism is primarily a totalitarianism. Hannah Arend't book on the origins of totalitarianism is a must on the subject. Putin is a former agent of KGB. He's obsessed with control. Russia is what we used to call a "transition economy", but it turns out it has lost of relics from the communist era (the oligarchs being one).

He talks about a centralised great Russia. That's centralism (communism being one of the forms of centralism). That's how I would summarize his view of the "great Russia" and what communism is:
To summarize my post (for "tldr people"): communism sucks whenever and wherever it's used.
As you say, the second part is the most interesting... regarding the war. But I found the first part extremely interesting. Putin is basically using an historical development to defend a centralised government as the best type (for Slavic people). He's basically arguing for Communism (or centralism - call it whatever you want, it's the same idea). This is also what the American Left argues for. In that sense, he's very close to the likes of AOC or Bernie Sanders (which is ironic, given how they despise Russia). I strongly disagree with this idea: an omnipotent centralized government is a mistake. It only creates poverty. Even though I like some form of regulation (mostly in regalian functions), I think total control is a sub-optimal form of political power. Western Europe had found (long ago) a great balance between regalian control and freedom for private actors.
This guy has balls. There's no denying it.
Maybe Brett Coopers' Snow White will work, who knows Cooper has less budget, less media exposure, less money than Zegler, but she's way more likable and she's not a woke brick.
All in all, Zegler is just another woke brick in the wall.
