“In alliance with the authoritarian regime, the [Russian] mass media has made the country a real ‘society of the spectacle,’”, says Ilya Budraitskis, a political and social theorist previously based in Moscow. Currently he is a Visiting Scholar with the Program in Critical Theory, UC Berkeley in the US.

Russia isn’t even against capitalism, they do their own super corrupt flavor of it for decades. Why else is the first thing coming to mind when someone says oligarch a super rich Soviet collapse profiteer?
Russia hasn’t been against capitalism since 1989. Stupid tankies. Today’s Russia is their arch enemy, a capitalist fascist mafia state.
I’m pretty sure capitalism is perfectly compatible with a genocidal feudalistic dictatorship.
It’s ironic, people be like “capitalism goes to fascism in crisis”, then when Russia actually does that they support it
