Your limited understanding of the region is not suprising given that you are stuck in a cold war frame of reference.
The “west” has been transitioning into a world wide State supported socialist corporatist framework for about 100+ years happening much faster in the last 20 plus years. If that’s your definition of “west” you can have it. Truth is you have no definition of ‘west’
You don't understand the definition of "West" because you've never been part of it.
The weakening of young democracies struggling to emerge from the hammer and sickle weakens the effort to resist the flow of political energy in that direction right here at home. Wtaching the world move back to communism does not help us and certainly doesn’t help the former Soviet bloc countries that had been emerging from its throes for the last twenty years.
The “west” still maintains a capitalist system, notwithstanding the efforts of powerful forces bent on destroying it. We can either throw in the towel and succumb or we can fight it. Identifying it and seeing it for what it is is half the battle. Yes, the movement has been in place for 100 years, but i’s only been very recently that that was discovered and identified. Knowing who the real enemy really is has been more than half the battle. Millions now see it with clarity. That could not be honestly said even two years ago.
Don’t abandon hope.....and hard work. They might win anyway, but they will win for sure if we don’t fight them at every turn. Our numbers grow. Do your part to advance that by opening people’s eyes with the truth and fighting on.
God bless.
