PUTIN IS EUROPE'S LAST RIGHT-WING DICTATOR

Pure facts

I feel that this text will cause a lot of disagreement.

I am not a professional journalist, but I will try to give easily verifiable statistics and scientific research in the text. I have two theses:

1. Putin is a right-wing dictator.

2. Putin's electorate is a politically right-wing electorate, a stereotypical electorate of conservative forces in Western and many other countries.

THE FIRST THESIS

Now - in more detail. How can we even determine that Putin is a right-wing dictator?

In fact, Putin is a mixture of Lee Kuan Yew, Viktor Orban and Francisco Franco of poor quality.

Such rulers usually have common characteristics. Let's go through them:

1. A relatively market economy. Dictators do not pursue ideal policies, but the right-wing ones have a relatively market-oriented one [scientific research shows that authoritarian right-wing regimes tend to support economic freedom more than authoritarian leftists: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048733319300125

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147596720300457

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jce.2020.07.007

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354446937_Economic_liberalization_political_regimes_and_ideology

http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/kykl.12281

https://vk.com/wall-142978854_199465 (monarchies pursue more economically free policies)]

We can measure this fact by fiscal conservatism (the state debt of the Russian Federation relative to GDP in 2019: 12.3%); the Ginny index of inequality (2019-37.7); the index of ease of doing business: 95 - 120 - 31 (2006 - 2010 - 2019 - place in the world); index of property rights(2007 - 2010 - 2019): 3.248 - 4.299 - 4.989 ; government spending relative to GDP (2019 in Russia 33.75%. For example, in Ukraine they reach almost half of GDP, in the EU they also reach 40-55%).

In short, all indicators of free market policy during Putin's 20 years of rule have clearly increased in one way or another since 2000.

Even the index of economic freedom, which is compiled by the politically engaged Heritage Foundation, has increased during Putin's rule:

https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/Russia/economic_freedom/

2. The second sign of right-wing dictators is "economic miracles", "getting up from their knees", or at least just an increase in living standards under their rule at an average pace (as in Malaysia).

Well, let's see how the standard of living of Russians has changed over the 20 Putin years (2000-2010-2019):

GDP by PPP per capita: 6825 - 20,490 - 30,067

Average life expectancy: 65.3 - 68.8 - 73.2

HDI (Human Development Index): 0.720 - 0.785 - 0.824

Infant mortality (as the number of deaths before 1 year per 1000 births): 15 - 8 - 5 .[ https://t.me/karga4/409964 ]

Yes, even the number of roads in the country[ https://acer120.livejournal.com/207827.html ]

Or some other general indicators of the standard of living, such as the number of houses built:

https://acer120.livejournal.com/202279.html

>Russia's mortality rate for 2019 was 12.3 deaths per 1,000 people, which is lower than EU countries such as Bulgaria (15.5 %), Latvia (14.5%), Lithuania (13.7%), Romania (13.4%) and Croatia (12.7%), but higher than the EU average (10.4 %)

An interesting fact: During Putin's 20 years, Russia has risen and actually had a standard of living like in a poor part of the EU, such as Croatia or Latvia.

3. The third point is ethnic politics. Here Putin is most reminiscent of Lee Kuan Yew.

Singapore's right-wing dictator has essentially adopted a somewhat ambivalent policy. On the one hand, Singapore has strict penalties for inciting interethnic conflicts and a ban on manifestations of radical nationalism. On the other hand, throughout the existence of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew somehow cared about maintaining Chinese demographic dominance and Chinese de facto power in the city. In addition, Singapore does not normally grant migrants citizenship: They are deprived of political rights and the Chinese remain in power. For many decades, there have always been about 75% Chinese among full-fledged citizens of Singapore.

Putin, in fact, is pursuing a similar policy in some ways. The easiest way to check this is to look at the distribution of nationalities in the country. So, for example, looking at the statistics of the United States, you can see that the proportion of non-Hispanic whites has decreased quite significantly since the 2000s. We will do the same with Russia(2002 - 2010 - 2021 ). The share of Russians in the population of the Russian Federation: 80,6% - 80,9% - 81% ; In addition, when we look at what is happening in the regions and national republics, we will see that for the most part they are Russified:

Such things are guaranteed thanks to various laws that create privileged migration conditions for Russians:

Let's talk about Moscow separately. Contrary to mythology, it is one of the whitest capitals of millions among all Western countries:

https://www.unz.com/akarlin/myth-of-moskvabad/

In the West, hatred of whites is mainstream. In Russia, such hatred of Russians simply does not exist. Russian history and culture of Russia are fully praised by the media and education.

In general, in principle, when discussing this issue, people do not understand basic things: almost all Caucasians, with the exception of Chechens, have a birth rate already below reproduction, and Central Asians have an insane male-female ratio. Therefore, the standard stories about the coming horrific Islamization of Russia are banal and unrealistic:

https://acer120.livejournal.com/2891.html

https://acer120.livejournal.com/2604.html

https://acer120.livejournal.com/1629.html

Sometimes I hear objections - for example, according to polls, Russians like Muslims and diversity. The problem is that Russians have a very specific understanding of "diversity", which contradicts leftist ideas about inclusivity:

https://www.unz.com/akarlin/russia-more-russian/

https://www.unz.com/akarlin/wapo-evil-putlerreich-welcomes-boer-racists/

Another complaint is that Russians hate Nazism, and Putin scolds neo-Nazis. The problem is that Russians perceive Nazism differently than Westerners:

https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2022/03/01/jewish-subtexts-in-ukraine/

https://readovka.space/death-to-enemies

https://readovka.space/rdk

Another strange accusation is that "Putin is subordinate to the Jewish oligarchs." In fact, he has been suppressing their political power since the 2000s:

https://akarlin.com/is-khodorkovsky-a-political-prisoner-read-the-echr-judgments-before-quacking/

Another saying that I often hear about Putin is: "evil Putin wants to build an empire." This idea has big problems. First, at the talks in Istanbul, Putin demanded that Ukraine recognize Crimea and Donbass as Russian territories only in the matter of territories:

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/11/29/did-ukraine-win-the-war-in-march-2022/

https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/the-myth-that-putin-was-bent-on-conquering

Secondly, the problem is in the statement itself. The territories of Donbass and Crimea became part of Ukraine only under the communist regime. Initially, Donbass was a separate Soviet republic, and Crimea was annexed to Ukraine in 1954. Within these borders, entire Russian regions, such as Crimea, were located abroad. Let's see how the residents of Crimea reacted to Russia's seizure of power in 2014:

https://akarlin.com/crimea-thanks/

https://akarlin.com/three-years-crimean-spring/

https://akarlin.com/crimean-tatars-for-russia/

But what happened to Crimea during the "Russian occupation"? Firstly, the human development index of Crimea in 2018 was higher than in any region of Ukraine:

And apparently, the standard of living has increased:

https://akarlin.com/russia-demographic-data-for-2016-released/

And this is against the background of Ukraine, where the eastern pro-Russian regions have always been more developed:

4. I wanted to write further about the fact that Christianity in Russia is promoted by the state. The dominant position of Orthodox Christianity in Russia is an obvious fact. I'll just give you a link about why religious conservatives are needed for survival:

THE SECOND THESIS

It's worth explaining first. There is a concept of "right-wing authoritarianism" in the social sciences. In fact, it is used to measure whether a person is an electorate of Conservative parties. Right-wing authoritarianism usually involves the joining and approval of accomplices [ https://vdare.com/posts/an-essential-difference-between-liberals-and-conservatives ], love of traditions [ https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2017/06/13/right-wing-authoritarianism-and-social-dominant-orientation-scales-as-liberalleft-propaganda/ ] and a joint order [ https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2015/10/11/jill-soloway-and-the-transgender-agenda-part-2/ ], various patriotism and racism [ https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2023/08/19/hatred-of-anglos-is-a-core-feature-of-multicultural-ideology-in-anglosphere-societies-a-review-of-anglophobia-the-unrecognized-hatred/ ] and in principle he is considered psychologically abnormal.[ https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2014/04/02/normal-people-british-white-nationalists-in-recent-academic-studies/ ]

This is all funny, considering that more thorough research has shown that right-wing political views are associated with improved mental health and overall happiness.:

And conservatives are also less inclined to "white flight":

https://www.city-journal.org/article/new-yorks-red-borough

I'll start with the psychology of the electorate:

In this study, it was found that people with more "right-wing authoritarianism" were also more supportive of Putin's ideology.[ http://dx.doi.org/10.7256/2454-0684.2021.4.33876 ]

Who supports conservatives in the West? Well, first of all, just white people. Secondly, among whites, they are most supported by adult men, especially adult men from the middle class, its "lower" part.

And who supports Putin? Russians, first of all, Putin, in fact, became the president of the Russian majority: https://akarlin.com/map-putin-vote /

And who of the Russians supports the military victory over Ukraine? Adult Russian men are primarily, and yes, contrary to myths, a little richer than the average:

Who doesn't like immigrants - Russians, and who in Russia likes Jews:

https://www.unz.com/akarlin/russians-like-some-immigrants-more-than-others/

And who are the main supporters of leftist views in the West? Jews and Blacks:
