Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is why I emphasized that Trotsky was a tragedy, while Prigozhin is a farce.
Both Stalin and Trotsky were genuine revolutionary ideologues, while Putin and Prigozhin believed in nothing.
However, the parallel in their historical images is too good to be ignored. I didn’t come up with this btw, some Russian communists already called this since last year, and it’s amazing how close the prediction came true - from their cult-like status from the military campaign, the ongoing feud with the state, to the coup, the exile, and finally their assassinations by the state.
Too early to call, my friend. Too early. So far this conflict has radically reconfigured the global geopolitical landscape, from the rise of BRICS and the fall of EU, to the accelerated effort of dedollarization and demilitarization of NATO.
It could very well end up as the most significant event of the 21st century that sparks the end of Western imperialism.
Nonetheless, the empire still stands strong, and will use every means at its disposal to strike back.
