What is Lukashenko like? What are his policies?

I know that he’s anti-imperialist and that people say critical support. But my question is what does he do? Not saying anything good or bad about him, I’m just saying from the libs I hear he’s bad and a dictator and he’s evil, people who are decently far left say “he’s far from perfect but worthy of critical support” and I can’t criticize or praise his actions as I know nothing of his policies or history and lord knows looking it up doesn’t help these days

  • I think he is close to being a socialist, just like Gheddafi

    • It’s funny you mentioned him, I recently started reading Muammar al-Qaddafi’s Green Book. I’m only on the first or 2nd chapter bc I downloaded it and I usually read physical books first

    • Guy def wants to resurrect the Byelorussian SSR. Even if the country is no longer socialist, it should absolutely be supported a one of the few anti-imperialist bastions left in Europe that's been to resist the EU and its neoliberalization impoverishment strategies.

      • Oh yes, I think he is the best leader in Europe as of now, if only Belarus didn't suffer this much from the fall of the USSR

  • https://www.scienceopen.com/hosted-document?doi=10.13169/worlrevipoliecon.11.4.0428 This seems really interesting. Note: I haven't read it yet, nor have I read too into its source. This paper comes from an ostensibly Marxist group is all I know, and the title seems relevant. I'm gonna read it now.

    edit: group is cool as hell:

    article explains Belarus's economy and foreign relations very well. I think an argument is pretty convincingly made that Belarus is pursuing socialism of a certain type, "market socialism", but not precisely Marxist or communist.

  • An anti-imperialist supporting imperialism towards Ukraine. Do y’all simp over anyone as long as the libs don’t like them?

    • Imperialism is not when a country invades another. Imperialism is the theft of land, labor, and natural resources of a weak country to feed a stronger one.

      Russia defending its borders from continued NATO encroachment over the past 30 years is not imperialism, and Russia is not part of the imperial core of countries currently robbing the global south of its surplus value by paying it wages from 200 years ago.

      • lol why did you bring up the global south and NATO. The US is imperialist as fuck and run by billionaire pigs like just like Russia. I don't simp for the US. The enemy of my enemy isn't my friend.

        also Russia is stealing the land, labor, and natural resources of the middle east just like the U.S. and now they're trying to do it to Ukraine.
