🛑 Vladimir Putin Says American Leftist Media and Politicians Play Into Russia’s Hands; He Feels An Affinity With Democrat Socialists:

“And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.” ~ Putin

“By the way, when anyone tries to humiliate or insult the incumbent head of state, in this case in the context you have mentioned, this actually enhances our prestige, because they are talking about our incredible influence and power.

“In a way, it could be said that they (Democrats and the leftist media) are playing into our hands, as the saying goes. But anyway, as I have already pointed out, this is none of our business. Let them settle scores with each other as they deem possible in the current context.

As for the Democratic candidate, what can I say?...

First, the @TheDemocrats @DNC is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, compared to Europe.

And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.

After all, I was a member of the Soviet Communist Party for nearly 20 years, or more precisely 18 years. I was a rank-and-file member, but it can be said that I believed in the party’s ideas. I still like many of these left-wing values.

Equality and fraternity. What is bad about them?

Yes, they are difficult to implement, but they are very attractive, nevertheless.

In other words, this can be seen as an ideological basis for developing contacts with the Democratic representative.
It is a fact that African Americans constitute a stable electorate, one of the electorates of the Democratic Party.

The Soviet Union also supported the African Americans’ movement for their legitimate rights. Back in the 1930s, Communist International leaders wrote that both black and white workers had a common enemy – imperialism and capitalism.

They also wrote that these people could become the most effective group in the future revolutionary battle.
So, this is something that can be seen, to a degree, as common values, if not a unifying agent for us. I am not afraid to say so. This is true.

Do you remember – well, you are a young man, but people of my generation remember a time when huge portraits of Angela Davis, a member of the US Communist Party and an ardent fighter for the rights of African Americans, were on view around the Soviet Union.

Therefore, we believe that this is something we can talk about and that can be used as the basis for mutual understanding but this is far by no means all there is.

For example, candidate Biden has said openly that he was ready to extend the New START or to sign a new strategic offensive reductions treaty. This is a very serious element of our potential collaboration in the future.”

I’ve been saying for years that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, snd now the 2020 election, with the full cooperation of our leftist media and @TheDemocrats, such as @RepAdamSchiff @RepSwalwell @SpeakerPelosi, and the all the rest.

And @AOC @blklivesmatter and their ilk are liars. They are full blown communists.
