I'm actually really happy that you mentioned Shock Doctrine because last time I was arguing with a tankie they called Naomi Klein a US state sanctioned liberal :D

I already replied on another comment about the support

Shock Doctrine is good theory regardless of whatever western brainworms reside in her. If people couldn't separate theory we'd have to throw the whole thing out with Marx's European brainworms.

Even in the very beginning you see the Western brainworms dangled in your face, but there are good aspects to the book.

yep <3

Unfortunately I've hat the displeasure of "conversing" with a few people who are unable to handle even that level of nuance

Klein herself is fairly liberal, but the impact on the post-Soviet citizenry is apt. 7 million people died so that the West could profit.
