Liberals praising a white nationalist that equated Arabs with cockroaches and flies that need to be exterminated is insane.

For a second there I though you were referring to Netanyahu.

I should clarify: the article makes no mention whatever about any politicians - not even Trump - thinks of Nevalny or his platform. Your comment is out in left field.

Reminds me of leftists constantly praising a guy who equated Jews with hucksters.

It would be easier to admit you can’t comprehend what you are reading

We recognize in Judaism, therefore, a general anti-social element of the present time, an element which through historical development – to which in this harmful respect the Jews have zealously contributed – has been brought to its present high level, at which it must necessarily begin to disintegrate. In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.

Don’t try to gaslight me, I know what Marx meant

yeah the last few days have been an excellent example of manufactured consent. we pretend like our free press is trying to get the truth on the ground… yet nearly every single article I’ve read about the death of Navalny only mentions that he was a “democratic dissident” and critic of Putin. That he is a “symbol of hope” for Russians who don’t support the Putin regime

Paints him as some sort of martyr revolutionary, a Russian MLK Jr

When in reality this guy founded an ethnic nationalist organization and there are pictures and videos of him marching next to swastikas

this whole ordeal shows how heavily manipulated our media is. it’s sick

Could you please provide some sources for this? This is the first time I am reading about this side of Nalvany.

Make sure you read to the end of that article. Nevalny himself (NPR interview, maybe?) admitted that he has courted the far right as well as the left in his bid to expose corruption within the Russian system and gain enough support to attempt to topple the Putin regime. He is unapologetic about it as he feels his intent (to clean up Russia and push for democracy) justifies his acceptance of all Russians as fellow countrymen. Like most people seeking power, his path is not pure and his antagonists will use that to poison any positive message he presents.

ok. for one, read the wikipedia page but i suggest reading one that was edited before he died just because after he died there’s been a lot of changes

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexei_Navalny&oldid=1189517416#2011_parliamentary_election_and_protests

some bits to back up what i said

He was behind the 2006 Russian Nationalist march

In late 2006, Navalny appealed to the Moscow City Hall, asking it to grant permission to conduct the nationalist 2006 Russian march.

This was essentially a giant protest against immigrants. There were many neo-nazis including people holding swastikas. if you look around long enough, you’ll find a find of navalny there with some swastikas behind him. i can’t find the video right now but i found some images of the russian march which should be enough to show there were neo-nazis there

please see following images i’ve placed into an imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/m5JQxIH

he founded this organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Russian_Liberation_Movement

National Russian Liberation Movement, which made anti-immigrant its main policy. During this period of time he would make certain statements like

“muslims are cockroaches that need to be exterminated” “immigrants are like cavities, you need to pull them out” etc

“Everything in our way should be carefully but decisively removed through deportation,” Navalny said in a video dressed as a dentist, comparing immigrants to dental cavities.

here’s an article that goes more in depth: https://jacobin.com/2021/01/alexei-navalny-russia-protests-putin

while it’s true that the Russian regime has illegally restrained him - they arrested him, tried to poison him, and ultimately killed him - but he was still a neonazi
