Former Socialist states still retain a large amount of female researchers and scientist, while being conservative societies themselves.
Meanwhile liberal western states, with their DEI programs and feminist policies still severely lack behind.
This just highlights that the problem lies in the economic systems which solidified the economic relations within the family, while social issues are secondary and often artificially pushed.
The economic model steers society in certain directions.
This leads me to my second point: women have always been actively working, contributing to society and doing physical labor. While its ridiculous to preach absolute equality and ignore inherent traits that define men and women, its equally ridiculous to justify roles in society pushed by evolution of capital and market demands, first a strict hierarchy based on economic roles then complete abolition of gender, which are often justified by religious nonsense or liberal moralism.
The same people who mandated 12-16 hour working hours in the factory during early capitalism and disrupted the natural work-life balance (that still existed under feudalism), are now also creating artificial gender wars, with the end goal being destruction of healthy family dynamic and maximization of profit.

The Chilean coup d'etat (which the Nixon administration actively supported through economic embargo of goods to Chile and through CIA support) followed a situation of social chaos; political division between right and left had reached a dimension of violence and uncontrolled antagonism. In 1973, Chile was on the verge of a civil war. The middle classes, fearful of socialist policies that threatened private property, supported the coup. Jews, as an integral part of the middle class, had views no different from those of their fellow nationals.
It is possible to say with a high degree of certainty that despite the prominent presence of Jews in Allende's government, an important number of Jews welcomed Pinochet. Moreover, when Allende was elected president in 1970, 8,000 of Chilean's 30,000 Jews fled the country, mostly to Israel, fearful of losing their property and assets to the socialist regime. Furthermore, when Pinochet took over three years later, many of those who had fled returned to Chile; however, other Jews fled the country.
Unlike its Argentinean counterpart, the Chilean authoritarian regime had repudiated anti-Semitism from the outset. Pinochet himself flirted with the Jewish community. He made a habit of touring synagogues during Yom Kippur services and appointed some Jews to high government posts. One of them, Sergio Melnick, was an Orthodox Jew who served as a key figure on Pinochet's economic team.
Also in contrast to Argentina where the military developed ideological anti-Semitism, the Chilean army welcomed Jews into its ranks. Some Jewish officers made impressive careers in the Chilean Army, such as the hard-liner Gen. Jose Berdichewsky, an ardent supporter of Pinochet. Berdichewsky, who spoke fluent Yiddish, was appointed ambassador to Israel in the mid-1970s. Pinochet, of course, maintained excellent relations with the State of Israel, where Chile acquired weapons. This relationship made Israel vulnerable to criticism from both inside and outside the country.

Best highlight of the current state of western leftism, absolutely surreal.
Disorganized group of dysgenic neurodivergent people that cant even function properly in everyday life, let alone lead a movement.
The right isn't that much different either, chaotic, obsessed with culture war, full of freaks of nature.
Things like these show us why the elites have an easy time ruling over the masses, and why without gatekeeping any movement is doomed.

KATYN
One thing that often comes up as some sort of universal argument against Bolshevism is the Katyn massacre, though both sides go to absurd levels of denying or dramatizing it.
Poles will claim 20 000+ people were executed by one comically evil man simply for "defending Christian Europe from communism" while Russians will do mental gymnastics to portray it as a German crime.
Lets look at the circumstances and the context of the event.
"There was a dimension to the Katyn affair which only the London Poles could appreciate, however, and which might have caused them to take such drastic steps. Millions of Poles were killed in German death camps throughout the war, and with considerably less sustained outcry from the London government. Indeed, only that very month the Germans were annihilating some 50,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto rebellion, and far less was heard from London on this matter. Katyn was an infinitely more sensitive issue because the men killed there, as Polish underground leader Tadeusz Bor-Komorowski described them, "had been the elite of the Polish nation...," that is to say, the friends and family of the exiles in London." Whoever destroyed the officers at Katyn had taken a step to- ward implementing a social revolution in Poland, and on the basis of class solidarity, the London Poles felt one officer was worth many Jews or peasants."
(Gabriel Kolko, The Politics of War, 1943 - 1945. (1968) p. 105.)
The main reaction to the executions was not due to war crimes, persecution or the usual talking points, rather WHO was killed, as majority of the victims weren't common soldiers and civilians, rather Polish elites collaborating with British establishment.
Ironically at the time Jewish victims were not seen as relevant, which only goes to furth show the reality of victimhood politics, as later they would become the focus and up until today we still are constantly reminded how the "second gentile brother war" was the worst thing to happen to them, right after destruction of the first temple.
Every political ideology, every nation and movement has their own "Shoah" and "George Floyd", be it Dresden or the Tsar. The reason it works in political debates is because liberal victimhood mentality has became the norm, even for political extremists on the left and right.
The truth is it was a terrible blunder from the Soviet side, even if the people involved were military officers and anti-Bolshevik agitators, though it perfectly showcases the reality of propaganda, as the peoples lives matter little in comparison to what they represent.
"The Katyn incident is developing into a gigantic political affair which may have wide repercussions. We are exploiting it in every manner possible. So long as ten to twelve thousand Polish victims have sacrificed their lives, probably not entirely without their fault, for they were the real instigators of this war they might as well now serve to open the eyes of the peoples of Europe about Bolshevism."

UNITY IN COMFORMITY?
One thing is clear, National Bolshevism is a niche ideology, at least in comparison to mainstream views of the establishment and its opposition.
With that in mind i want to ask you all a question, is it worth conforming to certain views and positions even if they are objectively retarded for the sake of preserving unity within the "movement"?
Primarily two things come in mind; third-worldism and "social issues".
Is it really necessary to shill for despotic states and openly anti-European countries who put on a mask of "traditionalism" and "collectivism" while turning their population into cattle, whose only purpose is protecting those in power (just as in the west) and furthering their geopolitical interest (at our expense).
Secondly, do 'we' all need to conform to one religion, one view on morality, one stance on 'social issues'?
No, we don't.
While there is strength in numbers, and unity is crucial for any movement there is no "movement" to begin with, there are people of all kinds of background using the platform of National Bolshevism to shill for something entirely outside of what National Bolshevism is meant to be, and in the modern era it has became more of a platform for broad anti-western and anti-liberal positions than a genuine ideology.
This needs to change if any progress is to be made, if any movement were to exist is needs to both have a defining ideology but also allow for independent opinions to flourish.
Lets take a look at National Socialism (the actual kind, be it historical or current, not LARP internet groups), while i don't ideologically align with it there are lessons to be learned when it comes to "the movement."
They have one vision, regardless if they are Christian or Pagan, for private property or against it, German or Russian. Its not so much about opposing "the current thing" as it is about building something new.
What is the "one vision" of National Bolshevism? Ask different people and you will get completely different answers.
One of the main points of this channel was to preserve the original vision, the ideological foundation of National Bolshevism, because for any new development to be made people need to understand what they preach and come to terms with the nature of the ideology.
What is needed is a vision, one that benefits OUR PEOPLE, not unconditional support for some banana republic "opposing the evils of the west" or a country that would exterminate us for not being swarthy and pious enough.

As a follow up to the last post, let me end this 'wall of text' saga with remarks about my channel.
There is a trend i noticed whenever i make a controversial post a decent amount of people leave, feeling personally insulted, while those of the opposite opinion join, thinking i will make similar remarks in the future.
When looking at similar channels to mine i noticed most are preaching to the choir, which itself isn't a bad thing, its convenient and does not alienate anyone which only makes those ideological views more acceptable to outsiders.
However that was never the point here, originally i focused on quotes, debunking nonsense and so on. I even avoided posting certain quotes and infographics in hopes of not alienating anyone, but is there even a point in that?
This is not a "united front against western imperialism" channel, and while i personally care very little for religion, homosexuality, wokeness and so on (if unrelated to actual issues in society and not just stemming from them) i still want to point out a few things that directly have an impact on society and greatly influence the ideology itself. Obviously this is very bad for popularity and optics, especially calling something people love "brown coded" and so on.
I was thinking of just keeping this a mild informative channel with ideological leanings, that doesn't explicitly attack any group with sympathies or similar goals.
Though in retrospect this is perhaps one of just a few English speaking channels that share the same views (which are somewhat more common on the Russian speaking side of Telegram).
With that in mind i wont tone it down or appeal to "the masses", if the masses are retarded they should be called out for being retarded. National Bolshevism, which has been clearly defined by Paetel and many others is becoming too sympathetic to religious nonsense, third world mentality and byproducts of modern age, be it direct political developments or reaction and opposition to them.
Anything detrimental to our ideological struggle must be called out, it doesn't matter if its sacred to others or not, if its controversial or not, what matters is our entire ideological platform becoming becoming tainted to the point of no return.
Like i previously made remarks about good aspects of National Socialism in its ability to build a movement, it also has downsides that became increasingly clear.
The NS movement that was once about "blood and soil", now its increasingly becoming about "God and country", filled with people (often of non-European heritage and social outcasts) who have no idea about what they are preaching.
Will National Bolshevism go from "Volk first" to "multipolarity first"?
Being against "the current thing" is not good enough, what is needed is representing something. And if that something is to have any credibility as an alternative to "the current thing" it needs gatekeeping.

VOLKISCH NATURE OF NATIONAL BOLSHEVISM AND ITS OPPOSITION TO CHRISTIANITY (PART 1)
When looking at major National Bolshevik figures, almost all of them historically were hostile to Christianity and even supported Pagan revivalism.
This might shock some who still hold the view that its simply an ideology that combines conservatism, nationalism and Marxist socialism, though this couldn't be further from the truth.
As i previously stated, the goal of the ideology was always to create a new society, not "return to tradition". It is an ideology of blood and soil that not only seeks to overthrow capitalism, but also eliminate all elements in society holding the nation and its people from achieving its full potential, Christianity being among them, according to Paetel and Niekisch.
There is a huge amount of material regarding this topic, so i will split the article in two parts. The first one will focus on Karl Otto Paetel and second on Ernst Niekisch, undisputedly the two most important people behind the National Bolshevik ideology.
KARL OTTO PAETEL ON CHRISTIANITY
"And faith can always and can only be overcome by a new faith, never through negation, never through scepticism. Eternal Rome will only disappear from the German regions when faith in Eternal Germany replaces it.
Rome, and with it all of Western Christianity, can with utmost tranquillity face the trite pseudo-enlightenment of the free-thinking circles, the tasteless invective directed against the priesthood.
Yet with all the disquiet and unrest today, Rome is already confronted with the beginnings of a new faith, the approach of a German renaissance."
"Here, where the outline of a new paganism shines forth, a new cosmic religiosity centered in blood, soil, and race, rooted in the divine breath of worldly life - here do the first axe blows fall upon the edifice of the Oriental faith which overshadows the people.
And if German nationalism has a deep spiritual and religious sense, then it is that (as Rosenberg recognized, but then recanted under the pressure of his Catholic master) of an insurrection of the Germanic way of life, poisoned and suppressed since the days of Charlemagne the Saxon-slayer, against the foreign infiltration of Christianity. The new paganism, the renaissance of a German faith, will be the living justification and the power source of the German revolution."
"This German revolution is thus in itself a great totality, encompassing the whole of life and asserting itself in life's every aspect; in its justification it is not only on the religious level a struggle against a passionless, corrupted, distorted Church, but also an uncompromising struggle against the essential substance of Christianity, which at its core is alien and disastrous to the German nature."
"Woe to them if they, who are guests of both Kingdoms, wanderers between the two worlds, frivolously seek to infringe the borderlines between them; if they want to replace the political, suprapersonal values of communal 'freedom' and 'will to power' with Christian ranting about the Sermon of the Mount; if they adulterate the slogan "Everything for Germany" with the addendum "Germany for Christ.""
Paetel isn't just opposed to the church, but the very concept and teachings of Christianity. He quotes Rosenberg and Ludendorff, both extremely hostile to Christianity.
Furthermore he argues for Pagan revival, for a new faith to emerge and replace the old. The chapter further elaborates on this, and since this post is exclusively about the stance on Christianity, the position of Paganism and how its connected to the National Bolshevik ideology will be discussed another time, alongside the role of religion in society.
With that being said syncretism of ideas is possible, religion remains secondary to ideology, Paetel himself understood this.
However that doesn't negate the fact that that genuine National Bolshevism in its core is irreconcilable with the teachings and worldview of Christianity.

The largest increase of GDP happened right at the time of sanctions.
Autarky, even when forced upon the nation not only makes it self reliant, but prosperous in the process.
That being said, the GDP of modern day Russia could have been significantly higher, as it took several decades just to reach the point of economic collapse in the 90s.
Imagine if instead of the oligarchs (who have more small hats per capita than even the American elites), money went to the people, who still decades later don't have the economic and political stability their grandfathers did.

There is nothing "Socialist" in Hitlerite National Socialism, unless we redefine what 'Socialism' is in the first place.
Germany has no issue engaging in international finance as long it fueled the war machine and benefited the "national" capitalists.
They had no issue privatizing public property, the same property that was state owned under Wiemar Germany, regardless of several companies being crucial to the national economy.
Apparently running the economy on loans and depending on "international capital" was totally fine if the people doing it were 'Aryan' or at least didn't have protruding noses.

VOLKISCH NATURE OF NATIONAL BOLSHEVISM AND ITS OPPOSITION TO CHRISTIANITY (PART 2)
Niekisch, like Paetel held similar views in regards to Christianity, though more from a Nietzschean perspective.
His views primarily focus on the civilizational and cultural impact on Christianity, The Third Imperial Figure will be used as a source for most of the following quotes.
ERNST NIEKISCH ON CHRISTIANITY
"The nihilistic poison with whose help the Jew took revenge on Rome was Christianity."
"Through Christianization, the peoples became Jewishly susceptible; they gradually accustomed themselves to viewing things with 'Jewish eyes.'"
"Christianity is the weapon with which the Jew wounds only others, his 'enemies'; it does not strike him himself."
These statements draw from his Volkisch position on religion, which were somewhat common in political circles and continue to gain popularity in the modern age, where Abrahamic faiths fail to provide philosophical foundation and political support for the emerging ethnocentric movements.
"The doctrine that one 'must obey God more than men' was the bomb that shattered (the state's) foundations."
"Christianity was the ancient 'Bolshevism'; it stood to the Roman Empire in a similar relation as Russian communism does to European bourgeois society."
"One brought Christianity to the heathens to take their soil in return. Land robbery was the flip side of Christian mission."
The book talks about much more than that, however this is primarily to highlight his position on the matter.
Both The National Bolshevik Manifesto and The Third Imperial Figure are easy to find in PDF form online.
With that being said there is also the cases of Ustryalov, Laufenberg and Limonov, while not being as relevant as Paetel and Niekisch they are still valid National Bolshevik Figures and their positions can be taken seriously. There isn't much information to be found regarding their position on religion beside generally being secular, atheistic or culturally tolerant of religion.
Heinrich Laufenberg: Atheist, doesn't bring up any spiritual topics in his writings, Materialist view on religion as "tools of oppression", born Catholic but abandoned the church, political affiliations and known views would imply he was hostile to religion as a whole, though not explicitly from a 'Volkisch' standpoint.
Nikolai Ustryalov: Secular, born to family of Old Believers, incorporates "Russian religious thought" into the ideology using Orthodox identity as one of cultural pillars of Russian nationalism, overall pragmatic and not openly hostile to the church.
Eduard Limonov: Secular, doesn't talk about religion to not alienate other dissidents, incorporates philosophical aspects of Christian mysticism in his worldview but at the same time described Russia as a "post-Christian" society retaining an "Orthodox soul", his pragmatism reflects the demographics of the movement, ranging from Rodnovers to Orthodox Christians.
As for Dugin, he shouldn't be considered a National Bolshevik or taking seriously in any topic beside geopolitics as he is the 'Russian Henry Kissinger', after all his position on religion is just whatever benefits the establishment, this will be further elaborated on in another post.

Niekisch, like Paetel held similar views in regards to Christianity, though more from a Nietzschean perspective.
His views primarily focus on the civilizational and cultural impact on Christianity, The Third Imperial Figure will be used as a source for most of the following quotes.
ERNST NIEKISCH ON CHRISTIANITY
"The nihilistic poison with whose help the Jew took revenge on Rome was Christianity."
"Through Christianization, the peoples became Jewishly susceptible; they gradually accustomed themselves to viewing things with 'Jewish eyes.'"
"Christianity is the weapon with which the Jew wounds only others, his 'enemies'; it does not strike him himself."

βBolshevism was presented as the quintessence of all of that which was destructive and decomposing.
Then, it is true, we are National-Bolsheviks, because precisely, the way of the nation only proceeds through creative destruction.β

It was never about religion or politics, it was always about identity.
Liberal and Conservative small hat club members both have the same goals, just go different ways about it. This can be seen in recent American polls where even "far left" Jews overwhelmingly support Israel, and prioritize their racial identity over national (American).
And while midwit gentiles try to present it as a struggle between ideologies, Zionists continue to view it as struggle between tribes.
An ethnic group they are trying to erase domestically is an useful tool for ethnic destruction of another opposing group, all they need to do is play their cards right.
Do they concern themselves with optics? No. The person in the video is an Israeli minister.

"The Western way of life places the economy above politics and gradually transforms the state into the servant of a large multinational company."
"When the bourgeoisie celebrates the worship of the nation, it secretly sacrifices it to its true idol, the god Mammon."

NIETZSCHEAN CONNECTION TO BOLSHEVISM
"In the crucible of war and revolution a new ideological alloy was forged in which the hardest, most violent, and most authoritarian elements of Marx, Engels, and Nietzsche bonded and from which the humane elements of Marxism and the libertarian elements of Nietzsche were expelled.
Contributing to this alloy were the revolutionary intelligentsia's apotheosis of will, the brutalizing effects of war (World War I and the Civil War), and Darwinian notions of the survival of the fittest. For both sides, the Civil War was a struggle for survival.
Nietzsche reinforced their "hard" interpretation of Marxism and fortified their will to power. Without power, they could not lead the masses to the promised land of socialism. Nietzsche also reinforced the mythic thrust of Marxism, its vision of history as a drama of salvation, and gave new impetus to the perennial radical dream of remaking man.
Important to the Bolsheviks to be discussed in this chapter: Lenin, Nikolai Bukharin, and Leon Trotsky - were ideas found in the writings of Marx, Engels, and Nietzsche: contempt for bourgeois morality, emphasis on struggle, a rhetoric of blood and violence, Prometheanism, a "future-orientation," and its corollary, "instrumental" cruelty, the latter justified in terms of Hegelian-Marxist historicism."
