Syndicate Red Brown Green

Red = Soviet, post-Soviet, Putinesque neo-feudal Russia.

Brown = New Nationalist  and National Socialist Movements — an allusion to the drifts of Orban’s Hungary and a part of the mix involved in Erdogan’s Turkey.

Green = Islamofascism generally with Ayatollah Khamenei possibly the most central element in driving the form worldwide, from Daesh in Iraq to Hezbollah in Argentina.

Update – December 22, 2015

One waggish associate noted of concept “Syndicate Red Brown Green” that the only color needed was “Red” and the other two were camouflage.

🙂

The German-Russian relationship and the role of the Communist Party prior to World War II are  unknown to BackChannels at the time of this update.  One knows there is a significant history there and probably one deeply affecting Russia’s political machinations and stance today as set beneath Putin’s aegis.

Addendum – July 8, 2016

Things are very different now. The left of centre is, at least in Britain, the domain of the new antisemites of the anti-Zionist movement. BDS stalks the land, not the Spectre of Communism. The left is delivered to a lethal compromise that gets into bed with clerical fascists who demand women and gays and Jews be thrown off mountains.

Addendum – August 2, 2016 – Daniel Pipes (2012) on the Post-Soviet “Red-Green” Alliance
