other than monarchism
"even communist" thats the thing, its always spearheaded by a maniac, because only a maniac would do so. its a catch 22
Right
The thing about Russia is that collectivism and serfdom was so ingrained into their culture that I think Communism was the only thing that could have changed them positively
eh they were and are fucked regardless
thats what happens when a bunch of slavs are in the middle of an icey wasteland
Imagine those serfs under the leadership of a racial monarchy.
there would be no "racial"
Well western Russia is hardly an icy wasteland
at least 4 months of the year
tru
They just can't utilize the warm months well because everything becomes a marsh
lol
why would a racial government be necessary
They have a word for it
Masirovka?
its when all the soil becomes mud from the snow
hence wasteland lol
i mean its survivable
Rasputitsa is the word
Masirovka means camoflauge
The Romanovs were revolted by the serfs. If they had felt a racial kinship, then an ethnic based monarchy would have flouriahed.
rasputin + tits i like it
yeah
Rasputitsa (Russian: распу́тица; IPA: [rɐsˈputʲɪtsə]) is a season when travel on unpaved roads becomes difficult, owing to muddy conditions, either from autumnal rains or spring thaw. It also refers to the condition of the roads, during those seasons
imo @Manimalia idpol is a new concept that has no place in big boy government, but i know a lot of people would disagree
so 4 months of the year is habitable
yeah that sounds miserable
spring and autumn are basically winter in Russia
It makes defending Russia easy though
Napoleon and Hitler both were repelled by it
yeah the steppes are the only reason they haven't been destroyed, you just cant get past it
but that's basically all they have, besides oil
It's easier now though
The Monarchy is to this day an ethnically based clan. They just didnt apply those principles to their subjects.
They don't have buffer states
oh yeah but no one is trying to invade them atm, everyone is afraid of war now
yeah
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.
