The Western fight for equality is a worthy goal, but its modern methods are driving a wedge between people, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed, quoting Martin Luther King in his speech at the Valdai Discussion Club.

The American Socialist Party does not fight for equality because we already have equality under the law. I have no right nor priviledge that any Black person does not have. They use the word "equality" when all along they want "equity". Major difference between the two things.
I'm sure most people know that "equality" is implicitly and explicitly expressive of opportunity.
Equity is an even division of wealth. Which is only achievable by gov't confiscation all property and other assets and then meting out largess according to its whims...I other words we would only have the entire population living in fear and want for Gov't favor and Gov't officials and their cronies living in opulence.
Which one sounds fair to you?

You are wrong . Equality and equity is the same thing only feminists and other Marxists has sold it to Americans and Westerns as something else. Equality under the law is not social equality and that is what equality as a word is used for. Rule of law is term used for equality under the law.

Equality and quality is the same damn thing. Don't be fooled. The feminist and other Marxists have normalized equality and fooled everyone and now when they say equality , people think that is how is should be, not realizing they have been duped all along. Equality or equity, its communist language. Never forget that. The only difference is the in the level of deception.

“Captured by the ideological animus, both socialist and liberal-democratic art abandoned the criterion of beauty - considered anachronistic and of dubious political value - and replaced it with the criterion of correctness. …egalitarianism and despotism do not exclude each other, but usually go hand in hand.

To a certain degree, equality invites despotism, because in order to make all members of a society equal, and then to maintain this equality for a long period of time, it is necessary to equip the controlling institutions with exceptional power so they can stamp out any potential threat to equality in every sector of the society and any aspect of human life: to paraphrase a well-known sentence by one of Dostoyevsky’s characters, ‘We start with absolute equality and we end up with absolute despotism.’ Some call it a paradox of equality: the more equality one wants to introduce, the more power one must have; the more power one has, the more one violates the principle of equality; the more one violates the principle of equality, the more one is in a position to make the world egalitarian.

Liberal democracy is a powerful unifying mechanism, blurring differences between people and imposing uniformity of views, behavior, and language. But it does not require much effort to see that the dialogue in liberal democracy is of a peculiar kind because its aim is to maintain the domination of the mainstream and not to undermine it. A deliberation is believed to make sense only if the mainstream orthodoxy is sure to win politically. Today's 'dialogue' politics are a pure form of the right-is-might politics, cleverly concealed by the ostentatiously vacuous rhetoric of all-inclusiveness.

The illusion they cherish of being a brave minority heroically facing the whole world, false as it is, gives them nevertheless a strange sense of comfort: they feel absolutely safe, being equipped with the most powerful political tools in today's world but at the same time priding themselves on their courage and decency, which are more formidable the more awesome the image of the enemy becomes.

The ideological man is thus both absolutely suspicious and absolutely enthusiastic. There seems to be no idea under the sun that he would not put into question and make an object of derision, skepticism, or contempt, no idea that he would not reduce to an offshoot of hidden instincts, mundane interests, biological drives, and psychological complexes. Hence he is likely to despise reason as an autonomous faculty, to downgrade lofty ideals, and to debunk the past, seeing everywhere the same ideological mystification.

But at the same time, he lives in a constant state of mobilization for a better world. His mouth is full of noble slogans about brotherhood, freedom, and justice, and with every word he makes it clear that he knows which side is right and that he is ready to sacrifice his entire existence for the sake of its victory. The peculiar combination of both attitudes--merciless distrust and unwavering affirmation--gives him an incomparable sense of moral self-confidence and intellectual self-righteousness.”

“To fret about political, social, or economic inequality in a free society is to fret about the problem of freedom itself, for in the presence of freedom there will always be inequality of some kind.” ― Jonah Goldberg, Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy

.......................................

“In a moment of doubt about the socialist record Eric Hobsbawm (1917-2012) once wrote: ‘If the left have to think more seriously about the new society, that does not make it any the less desirable or necessary or the case against the present one any less compelling.’ There, in a nutshell, is the sum of the New Left’s commitment. We know nothing of the socialist future, save only that it is both necessary and desirable.

Our concern is with the ‘compelling’ case against the present, which leads us to destroy what we lack the knowledge to replace.

The two goals of liberation and social justice are not obviously compatible, any more than were the liberty and equality advocated at the French Revolution. If liberation involves the liberation of individual potential, how do we stop the ambitious, the energetic, the intelligent, the good-looking and the strong from getting ahead, and what should we allow ourselves by way of constraining them?”

He would be right about that - and it is worth noting that since Russia is a racially homogenic nation (little or insignificant racial diversity) the Soviet Regime does not divide its population along racial lines. They divide their people along the strata of economic lines.
Being the Communist that he is I'm sure Putin would be ok with having the problem of racial divisiveness in he country. He would be just as apt to exploit racial tensions as are the USA Socialists - formerly knowns as Democrats

Russia is actually and has been multi ethnic for centuries. Multi racial thing is more American thing. No one in Europe really talks about whites and blacks, but in German or French terms. Some of that has changed in recent years with import of half the damn Africa but that is part of Great Replacement agenda.

But make no mistake, ethnicity can be as divisive as race or it can be as unifying as race. It depends on the time and place. During communist revolution there were actually less than 50% Russians in the country.

But you are correct that communism in general tries to find something that is a weak spot of a country and cane be exploited by firing up the tensions between groups. Class consciousness, called it Marx. In America today there are more artificially invented divisions and identity groups than there are real ones. And since Americans never really dealt with communism directly, they were sitting ducks.

As for Russia Ethnicity, according to wiki, Russia today is one of the world's most sparsely populated and urbanised countries, and had a population of 142.8 million according to the 2010 census] which rose to 146.2 million as of 2021. It is the most populous country in Europe, and the world's ninth-most populous country, with a population density of 9 inhabitants per square kilometre (23 per square mile).

Since the 1990s, Russia's death rate has exceeded its birth rate, which has been called by analysts as a demographic crisis. In 2018, the total fertility rate across Russia was estimated to be 1.6 children born per woman, which is below the replacement rate of 2.1, and is one of the world's lowest fertility rates. Subsequently, the nation has one of the world's oldest populations, with a median age of 40.3 years. In 2009, it recorded annual population growth for the first time in fifteen years; and since the 2010s, Russia has seen increased population growth due to declining death rates, increased birth rates and increased immigration. However, since 2020, due to excessive deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's population has been decreasing considerably.

Russia is a multinational state, home to over 193 ethnic groups nationwide. In the 2010 Census, roughly 81% of the population were ethnic Russians, and the remaining 19% of the population were ethnic minorities, and roughly 85% of Russia's population was of European descent, of which the vast majority were Slavs, with a substantial minority of Finnic and Germanic peoples. According to the United Nations, Russia's immigrant population is the world's third-largest, numbering over 11.6 million; most of which are from post-Soviet states, mainly Ukrainians

P.S.

The racial divide in America is not about race but of religion, because how else do you explain the black face of white supremacy that is Larry Elder.

I bet Putin finds the shift in US society funny as hell, remembering, as he does, how the USSR promoted Angela Davis and other black commies in the old days of Brezhnev and Suslov.

Yeah, probably, but I think he is also afraid that it does not come into Russia because that is the real virus to worry about. Plus , Putin for all his flaws does not strike me as an ideologue or crazy. He strikes me as a programmatic patriot with KGB training , something he needs to stay in politics in places like Russia. And indeed it kept him in office longer than most .
