🤞 Farmer Lukashenko becomes president of both countries. 🤞
Russia
That would create a meme gap for the anglosphere.
Meanwhile my state the people overwhelmingly voted to remove the right to vote as a guaranteed right even to every citizen.
Where's you are from? Dummy question. .w.
South Carolina
This is huge, as most countries only allow citizens to vote.
I found the "rescue democracy" rhetoric around the recent German election laughable, in part because a whole 15% of the working and income tax paying population is simply excluded from voting. Of course this has its material reasons, and is quite important to protect the class interests of the capitalists.
Does this mean that unification is close?
Lukashenko never allow complette unification, only if he becomes the President. He is good, but a little bit too smart for complete unification. :) (No offense intended.)
United Russia and Belarus with Lukashenko as president would be peak
I've heard that Lukashenko is thought to be a crypto-communist type? I'm clueless, so if you have any reading material about Lukashenko could you post it here?
I don't think he's ideologically communist, but i think like many older people in Belarus and Russia he has a certain nostalgia for the Soviet times and recognizes that many things were actually really good about the socialist system. More than anything else i think he's a patriot, which in his view aligns with pro-Soviet views.
