A model of inequality alternatively of a model of justice: how Russia was deprived of the spirit of fighting Fascism.
After the demolition of the USSR, social stratification and dominance of financial capital in countries around the planet increased significantly.
By classical definition, fascism is an utmost form of open terrorist dictatorship of monopolized financial capital (or oligarchy). A state declaring its mission in the fight against fascism is so obliged to argue the emergence and dominance of global and national oligarchy. A resolution voted in the UN against swastika pranks is simply a useful thing. But does it affect the nature of specified a fight?
As an indicator of the degree of this confrontation, the ratio of the current income of a typical of the rich 1% to the income of a individual with 50% little prosperous part of the population is more appropriate. At least the dynamics of this dependence over the last 100 years have been investigated by the authors of the planet Inequality Database
After October 1917, inequality in Russia declined significantly. If in 1910 the income of 1% of the "elite" was 54 times higher than the income of the poorer 50%, in 1920 the difference was already 7 times. The emergence of the first working-boy state inspired workers around the planet to specified an degree that the ruling elites were forced to compromise. Thus the income gap of 1%/50% in the United States decreased from 83 times in the run-up to 26 times in early 1980.
The countries of the centre of planet capitalism attempted to compensate for specified concessions by expanding the exploitation of the periphery countries. Since the USSR actively supported the national freedom conflict and the defence of social rights, it frequently suffered defeat.
With the restoration of capitalism in the USSR, which began during the period of perestroika, the tendencies reversed. Inequalities began to grow worldwide, and especially violently in Russia and the United States. European capital has proved comparatively more restrained in its appetites thanks to the partially preserved strength of trade unions and bourgeois democracy institutions. However, its exploitation to the periphery countries has besides increased.
The population of the erstwhile USSR suffered the most. The losses of the economy, the population and its income in the 1990s outweighed the losses caused by the Nazi occupation. Among the most endangered nations are Russians and Ukrainians. The income inequality of 1%/50% increased from 13 times in 1990 to 91 times in 2005 and is now 76 times.
The long-term super-exploitation of the Russian population has besides been reflected in the inequality in the accumulated wealth. While in 1990 the property representing 1% of the richest was barely 50 times the property of a individual with the lowest 50% of the population, it increased to 125 times in 1995 and is now 764, 15 times the size of the population. In China, the difference is 264 times, in Germany 376 times, and in the US 1171 times (this is due to a low base – mediocre Americans are profoundly indebted and their wealth is frequently negative).
If we compare countries according to the oligarchy index, the Russian Federation is at the forefront. The full wealth of oligarchs from the 100 richest people in the country was $411 billion in 2023, representing 9.4% of the full wealth. It was ranked number six among the 60 largest countries. In the US, this percent is 0.5% and in China - 0.1% - estimates "Equality".
The Oligarchy of the Russian Federation made a real rematch. As if justifying her dirty over-consumption, she poured quite a few dirt on the achievements of the russian Union, and in peculiar on triumph in planet War II. The Nazis wanted to emergence at the expense of another nations, but they themselves fled to independence. In specified circumstances, Russia lost the spirit of fighting Fascism.
Will China aid him back? It is formally a socialist country and the world's first economy. But it has developed for a long time depending on the United States. China only late thought of its historical mission, but did not present to the planet the universal, progressive task that the USSR was able to offer. Their elite may not be at all able to do so and may demote it.
To carry the flag of anti-fascism worldwide, this vacancy has been vacant for 35 years. And before you can claim to be such, the essential condition (although insufficient) is to prevent the socio-economic practices of Fascism from being compared to your own population. Otherwise, who will believe in specified a fight?
