Russian people never had a centralized government; their Steppic continent was/is too big. Russians are Scandinavian and Norse people, mixed with Steppic Mongolians and Huns. They’re nomadic peoples, clannish and tribalist. Russians have traditionally had an inferiority complex toward Europeans, out of envy of their cultures, especially the French whom they admire more than others (Napoleon conquered Russia). Russians are naturally industrialistic and communistic. When it comes “naturally” to one race/ethnic group, that’s different than any supposed Marxism/Communism which is inflicted upon others. Many ethnic groupings are elitist and want no party in any hypothetical “universal brotherhood” or “proletariat of the workers”.
Most workers are simple-minded buffoons, and you know this very well. They don’t have leadership qualities, which are monopolized and indoctrinated by the elitists anyway. There are few ‘noble’ qualities within the working-populace.
French anti-Elitism, wrought out of contempt, is not the same as Russian anti-Elitism, wrought out of an inferiority complex. Russian people aren’t really ‘respected’ within Western and Southern European countries, perceived as invasive outsiders, tacky, gawdy, lacking sophistication, still retaining many ‘barbarian’ qualities of their ancestors. The English in particular, sneer upon Russian (and therefore Communist sentiment).
The Western World is still anti-Communist, due to the Anglo antagonism. This is relevant today, as the Neo-cons, Neo-libs, demonize Russia and Eastern Slavs, every chance they can get, accusing Trump of “colluding” with them, just because they’re a bunch of fucking losers.
