The only thing I know about Lukashenko is whatever was in John Oliver’s piece on him; so absolutely nothing. If y’all can help me out on that I’d be grateful.
Anyway, just saw this on twitter and thought it was very sus.
Western leaders and media spread lies about Belarus and Lukashenko because he hasn’t allowed Belarus to fall victim to neoliberal looting. The usual capitalist regime change organizations are constantly trying their tricks in Belarus, which the government makes very difficult and said organizations always call foul play on.
Batka Lukashenko to BBC reporter about western “NGOs”:
Opened comments to post this exact bit! Honestly this one specific meme is what tipped me over from flirting with being critically pro-Russian/Belarussian towards being like “yeah, okay” back in the beginning of this clusterf
Lol I love this interview. Basically told them to cope and seethe lmao
Do you have a link for this? 🙏
I mean you can just google BBC Lukashenko interview. It’s the usual dishonest twisting of reality, poisoning the well, and “when did you stop beating your wife” type questions from the so-called “reporter” and he is having none of it. Then all the libs on Twitter tried to pretend like this interview was proof that he is some kind of unhinged maniacal dictator. Honestly i think more anti-imperialist leaders need to be speaking like this to the scum from the imperialist propaganda networks. Putin and Xi are always way too diplomatic. Lukashenko reminds me of a slavic Ortega or maybe a Maduro (sadly not quite Chavez who literally called W. Bush the devil at the UN)…except sadly he’s not (or at least he doesn’t openly admit it though i think it’s fairly clear he at least has Soviet sympathies, more so than Putin) a socialist.
Here’s a very good text about Belarus and Lukashenko:

Was gonna share this as well. Interesting when Chinese communists are discussing Belarusian economics they refer to it as Market Socialist, although Belarus is never included in what western MLs consider AES. It’s very complicated and could be considered more liberal than China without the end goal being to move toward communism, but it’s certainly not neoliberal either, like the “freedom fighter” opposition wants it to be.
Will someone shot her already?
Nah, she’s as funny and as dangerous as Guaido, but less famous. This kind of enemies are pretty useful, since they are showing everyone the hypocrisy and real intentions of their controllers from the west.
🤡
Very real question, Didn’t she just declare herself the ruler, What right does she have to 1) speak for the people of Belarus, who voted for Lukashenko, and 2) how can the person who just declared herself the ruler of a country without the will of the people, call anyone else, let alone the elected ruler a dictator?
