We learn that Hillary Clinton is extremely concerned about Putin’s interference in the American elections, like any respectable democratic leader of the free world. She announces at one of those “Good Guys” meetings organized by her husband’s foundation at the UN, a “huge surprise” for October, presumably aimed at Kamala Harris to make her lose against Trump. The audience, alarmed, asks: could Putin launch some atomic bomb to scare voters? If only! Hillary clarifies that it’s the much more dangerous “disinformation” at play, the same that targeted her during the 2016 race against Trump, when someone (the Russians, for sure) spread the rumor that she was running a pedophile ring (we thought it was Renzi’s support from Italy that made her lose, go figure). Putin, who once ran that dangerous hacker cell in Afragola (NA), has of course now turned his sights on Kamala.
What is truly shocking, however, is a detail: when Hillary says, “Frankly, I can’t explain Trump’s love for the Kremlin leader. Republicans used to be the strongest at opposing communists, but now they’ve let their guard down.” Ah-ha! So that’s what Putin is: a communist (but wasn’t he a fascist?). He invaded Ukraine waving Lenin’s Materialism and Empiriocriticism. And Trump is too soft on him (Trump is a bit of a communist: he keeps a 1922 copy of Pravda in Trump Tower), while Hillary and Kamala would know how to handle the Bolshevik, leading NATO’s deadly mission to still neutralize communists worldwide.
It’s too exhausting for these American bourgeois with their guns at home to understand that Putin is a blatantly market-friendly nationalist autocrat, favoring oligarchs and billionaires—much like those who vote for the Clintons in America. (Isn’t it possible that some Americans, or even some Europeans, after hearing such nonsense over and over, might actually feel like voting for someone who “loves a communist”?).
