I'm an optimistic communist but I dunno if I'm this optimistic.
I don't say so without basis, of course, and I'm not certain of it. However, contradictions within the Russian Federation are resulting in the working classes moving more to the left, despite the nationalist leadership. The liberal opposition is pretty much inconsequential, only the CPRF really stands counter-posed to United Russia, and much of United Russia is tied to Putin himself, not the party. It isn't going to happen tomorrow, or the next decade, but in the next ~70 years? I'd say it's quite possible.
The CPRF is getting better to a degree. Zyuganov and the leadership is ossified yeah, but the rank and file is doing genuenly good work. I'm in an org that is co-operating with them (NCPY) so I kinda know some people lol.
Also, Nikolai Bondarenko, who is basically a popular hard-line Marxist-Leninist and the face of the party's anti-revisionist faction has become the part of the Central Committee as of last year. So thing will change for the better I hope.
Yep! As a westerner, the big shift towards the CPRF's appraisal of Stalin recently as a party line was a large signifier of positive change.
I felt a bit cope-ful when my lil town's social-oriented local candidate deserved a dedicated smearing campaign by UR while literally everyone there was positive about them. That's the ceiling for now as long as UR has that much regional power, administrative resource and just cash. I'm not a believer in electoral politics, especially not today, and not with local KPRF cell that (unlike yours?) is as good as absent in my experience, but there is a potential, a demand, that can be acted on if/when total apathy and ER gets weaker. Not holding my breath and still figuring out what may work there with some trial and error.
I'm sorry to hear that mate. Also I'm from the Balkans (NCPY for New Communist Party of Yugoslavia), not from Russia so I don't know your exact situation atm.
But I get you on the inactivity part. My local branch has been dead for a while too due to lack of activity. So I decided to start a party reading club lol. Wishing you luck over there.
Our ruling party that is similar to UR but more opportunist, Serbian """Progressive""" Party which is basically an lib offshoot of a fash party here, is losing support. We might as well act on It.
Eh, you are right, I misread your comment. Wish you well on that path. Give them a proper fight ;)
