Kazakhstan 5.0: I Want To Believe Edition Anonymous 2022-01-07 (Fri) 18:29:17 No. 680083 [Last 50 Posts]
A happening is happening in Kazakhstan.
I profess I do not know,
Where things may go,
And though things may just glow,
I want to believe.
(Embedded video will ve Kagarlitsky discussing the happening. Though I don't trust his judgement all too much, I once again admit I want to believe).

>>680116 It is very obvious what is happening in kazahkstan if you just decide to not be a retard. The riots started with workers protesting deteriorating conditions from the neoliberal comprador shit hole state and many conscripts and policemen even refused to fight the protestors. America denounced the "damage to property and livelihood" and they own most of the oil extraction which was the center of the woers striking. CSTO obviously is also opposed and invaded Kazahkstan to suprress the revolts. China denounced the protestors and called them a colour revolution, from who? Who fucking knows, all the capitalist powers have denounced them, have interests in line with the Kazahkstan comprador regime and are supporting the suppression of the protests, sometimes directly, such as CSTO invading to secure resource extraction.

"The West should tear Kazakhstan away from Russia." >"Russia has already entered, sent in troops. CSTO is Russia. This is an occupation by Russia," he said. >He did not say how the West should pull Kazakhstan out of Russia's orbit, or whether it should use force. >Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic, is wedged between Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. >China would stand aside in Kazakhstan and simply observe events, Ablyazov said. >Sentenced in absentia in Kazakhstan for fraud, embezzlement and for organising a murder, Ablyazov, 58, lives in France where he has been granted refugee status. >He has dismissed the charges against him in Russia and Kazakhstan as politically motivated.>He served as energy minister in the 1990s under Nazarbayev but relations soured. Kazakh authorities say Ablyazov instigated and bankrolled protests in 2016 that forced Nazarbayev to delay unpopular land-ownership reforms. >NAZARBAYEV'S 'FURNITURE'>Ablyazov cast Nazarbayev, who was Kazakh Communist Party chief before becoming president, as a dictator who had led Kazakhstan's people into a geopolitical dead-end while enriching a venal elite. >"Nazarbayev - he is not in the country right now - but it doesn't mean anything because he has telephone and communications - and everyone in power including Tokayev will do what he orders," he said, describing Tokayev as the former president's "furniture". >"I see myself as the leader of the opposition," Ablyazov said. "Every day the protesters call me and ask: 'What should we do? We are standing here: What should we do?'" >He said he was ready to go to Kazakhstan to head a provisional government if the protests escalated. >"I would not only return - people keep on asking when I will return and blame me for not returning to lead the protests - but people don't understand how difficult it would be for me to return as Russia has sentenced me to 15 years and Kazakhstan to life," he said. >Ablyazov dismissed suggestions that the West had financed the protests as an attempt to distract attention from the fact that the roots of the protests were domestic. >"I know the Soviet cliche of a Western spy, but I would be happy to be an American or European spy because then we would live like the people in America or Europe - and everyone would laugh," he said.

Ok guys so I think I've figured it out. This can't possibly be an organic movement, because as we all know, organic movements can't happen in third world countries that are somewhat friendly to Russia, so someone is organizing these protests. But the US and the EU have gone out to say that they condemn the violence and support the kazakhstan goverment. So, there must be someone else aside from the EU and America who are making these protests, so, let's recapitulate:>Revolution is leaded by trotskyist. >Kazakhstan is supposedly where the capital of the NWO (the illuminati) is. >It isn't leaded by the China. >It isn't leaded by Russia. >It isn't leaded by America. >It isn't leaded by the EU. >Everyone else doesn't matter in the geopolitical scale. So, it must be funded by another nation, but no nation is funding it. But here is where we have a problem, we are looking solely to the countries that are in THIS planet. Recognize the first point?>Revolution leaded by trots. You know who else was a trot? Indeed, Juan Posadas. This can only mean one thing, the guys who are leading in the shadows this colour revolution is none other that extraterrestial in nature, it's being composed by Aliens from outer space, as the Posadas texts said. This is the start of our union with the Intergalactic Socialist Confederation, and of course, porkies from all the world are uniting against this proletarian menace from outer space.

>Liberal opposition activists hastened to declare that it is they who coordinate the movement. and the calls of CSTO happened
after >P.S. After the article was published, it became known that in Almaty and some other cities there are heavy clashes, the protestors have seized many key infrastructure buildings in Almaty and other cities. Under pressure from the protests, President Tokayev made unprecedented social concessions – he promised state regulation of gas, gasoline and socially important goods, a moratorium on raising utility bills, subsidized rents for housing for the poor, and the creation of a public fund to support health care and children. Protesters also demanded a return to the 1993 Constitution and a government made up of people outside the system. And they still demand lower food prices and a reduction of the retirement age to 58-60, higher wages, pensions, child benefits, and so on. >Later on that day Takayev called for a “peace-keeping” (in fact, police) operation of the Collective Security Treaty Organization countries (Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan) to suppress the protests, which the Kazakh were now declaring an attempt of intervention from outside. By the morning of January 6, CSTO council had approved of the request and there are already reports of Russian troops in Kazakhstan.Anonymous 2022-01-07 (Fri) 19:53:20 No. 680240

Reminder: Hungarian Worker's Party coming with the correct take.
Kazakhstan: popular discontent or external aggression? It seems it's both! The people are dissatisfied with the anti-people measures of the capitalist government. People are now beginning to understand that they have been deceived by the capitalist regime change. The masses are living worse than before, and the billionaires have become rich through exploitation. People have taken to the streets, but there is no revolutionary force to organize the masses, so there is no possibility for an anti-capitalist revolution yet.
The West is using the means of “color revolutions” to take control of the protests. The goal is for the West to take Kazakhstan and take another step towards the war against Russia. For the West, however, the main goal now is Ukraine.

>>680265 The Communist Party of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Коммунистік партиясы, Qazaqstan Kommunistık Partiasy, QKP; Russian: Коммунистическая партия Казахстана) is a banned political party in Kazakhstan.[1]
The party was banned in 2015 by the Almaty city court because the number of party members was below the legal number of 40,000. The sentence was denounced as politically motivated by the party leaders, and was condemned by the Communist Party of Greece, the Russian Communist Workers' Party and the Communist Party (Turkey).[5] However, the legality of the sentence was defended by the Communist People's Party of Kazakhstan, whose leadership accused the QHP of ignorance of the law. Despite having previously protested against the ban on the Communist Party of Ukraine, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation released no official statement on the matter.[6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Kazakhstan The Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan[a] is a communist political organisation in Kazakhstan.
The Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan was established by Kazakh members of the Committee for a Workers International in 2002, during a conference held in neighbouring Russia. From its inception it came under attack by authorities, with one member detained en route to the conference establishing the organisation, and others reporting being attacked as they gathered for the conference.[3]
Prominent members of the Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan include Ainur Kurmanov and Esenbek Ukteshbayev, leaders of the independent Kazakh trade union 'Zhanartu', currently in exile. Along with other members of the Socialist Movement Kazakhstan, both have been subject to arbitrary imprisonment and attempts on their lives when within Kazakhstan.
In June 2012, Takhir Narimanovich Mukhamedzyanov, leader of the Socialist Movement Kazakhstan, was found dead in his home under suspicious circumstances, after receiving a range of death threats from state-affiliated interests.[4]
The Socialist Movement Kazakhstan supported the strike and demonstration by Kazakh oil workers in December 2011 in Zhanaozen, and accuse the government and Nursultan Nazarbayev's National Democratic Party of initiating a massacre.[5]
The Movement has been playing an important role in the 2022 Kazakh protests over rising fuel prices, supporting strikes all across Kazakhstan.[6]

Two MPs from the ruling party and members of the “State Commission for Rehabilitation”, the cadres to whom the government has entrusted the implementation of this unhistorical and dangerous task, proposed the criminal prosecution of those who “offend” Mustafa Shokai, the founder of the Turkestan Legion, i.e. parts of the Wehrmacht and Muslim SS battalions.
The Nazi “Turkestan Legion” operated in various European countries to suppress the partisan movements. It also conducted fascist cleansing operations against anti-fascists and civilians in Belarus, Poland, Greece, Italy, and Yugoslavia. The 789th battalion of the Turkestan Legion, after being “retrained” in Germany, was sent to Greece in 1943, where it fought against the EAM–ELAS partisans.
We condemn all immoral attempts to justify the Nazi criminals and their collaborators, as in the case of Kazakhstan, to erase the memory of the Soviet peoples and the Red Army that suffered huge losses in the struggle for the liberation of the USSR and Eastern Europe in the Great Patriotic War, crushing the Hitlerite military machine. We condemn any plan to criminalize all those who want to preserve the historical memory and the real history written by the people of Kazakhstan, as well as the collaborators of the Nazis and their activities.

We (da' West) will at least need the neutrality of Russia if we wanted to oppose China or operate in the Middle East without meddling.

It's possible the riots are simply an internal power struggle between Tokaev (current president) and Nazarbaev (ex-president, who created a special post for himself called "Elbasy" which was essentially "above" president). Nazarbaev fled the country as soon as the riots in Almaty began, and Tokaev assumed the position as the head of the security council, cementing his power. Nazarbaev's loyalists in the military and police tried to obstruct Tokaev, which explains why Kazakhstan's security forces were not doing anything at the start and even went as far as to "surrender" while giving away the weapons to rioters. That is the reason why Tokaev went to CSTO to gain support and legitimacy from other countries. Seems that this has worked out well for him as rioters are getting pushed back now. Most of the shooting was between those two parties. If all of this is true, then we can expect the purges soon after the whole mess is finished as it looks like Tokaev won and basically ousted Nazarbaev & his family from power.

The protests in the smaller cities have been peaceful and less organized so those are probably angry workers protesting about the economy and unrelated to the power struggles going on in the capital. Perhaps it is wrong to speak of a single protest movement but rather there are several different enevts happening in parallel.

To me, this seems like a authentic movement if the people. It is not western backed from inception however this will not stop CIA/glow from attempting to capture the movement and attempt to install a pro west puppet state. Russia recognises this and will attempt to install their own puppet first before the west have a chance. Its the issue of the communist movement in the country now to capture the movement of the people and steer it towards a dictatorship of the workers.

Most of them became compradors during the transition, or oligarchs if they had the chance. The suggested reason by some westoids here is that more theory should have been read lol.
The only particularity that I see here is that you have one long-term leader yet no formation of national bourgeoisie unlike in Russia - turning Kazakhstan into a bigger periphery than was probably necessary from the standpoint of political power, he just played the role of a comprador for Western capital instead. In any case there are other reasons than lack of faith or lack of book club membership on his part, I'm pretty sure of that at least.

The Communist Party of Workers of Spain expresses its support and solidarity with the workers' and popular mobilizations that are taking place in Kazakhstan and condemns the murders, arrests and attacks of all kinds that the police and military forces of the Kazakh Government are carrying out against protesters.
The strikes and mobilizations that have been taking place since January 2 are aimed at improving the living and working conditions of the Kazakh people, whose government has handed over a large part of the country's wealth to monopolies that benefit greatly from the absence of rights. trade unions and politicians of the country's working class.
We also denounce the intervention of foreign powers in the country, aimed both at repressing the protests and at trying to take advantage of them to aggravate the inter-imperialist confrontation.
For all this, we demand:
The immediate end to hostilities against the people and the withdrawal of troops from the cities
The release of all political prisoners and detainees
· The recovery of the right to create unions, political parties, carry out strikes and meetings
· The legalization of the activities of the outlawed Communist Party of Kazakhstan and the Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan
Let us not allow bloc politics to cancel the class struggle.

>>680624 China is trying to become the dominant world superpower and has no time to do things that will hinder that goal such as threaten the entire globe by funding disorganized and hopeless rioters trying to destabilize an important trading partner, before they are a global leader in both innovation and new forms of industrialization. You may not like it and in an ideal world it wouldn't be so, but in the long run when considering real material conditions China playing it safe up until they can safely push the world to socialism is bound to be more effective than idealistically trying to declare war against all of the world as of now. Such a large and populated country with so much potential like China being socialist is too valuable for an eventual global socialism to risk on rioters in Kazakhstan. China will eventually be able to spread their influence abroad, but until then due to their analysis of the material conditions they must uphold the principle of not exporting ideology for the sake of keeping their state alive first and foremost. Some socialists actually learned from the demise of the USSR and are not willing to repeat its mistakes. Again, in an ideal world it wouldn't be so, but as Marxists we should understand that idealism isn't what drives progress.

Think of the resources that could be sold to China instead even.

Protesters are clearly pro-West, CSTO was sent to quell outside interference, all the rebelling regions are either in oil fields' regions in the West along Caspian Sea or in the East on the border with China. The West just tries to copy Chinese tactics of voicing support for peace and dialogue and current government while silently funding communist groups inside. Not the first time the West tries to steal communist tactics.

The protestors are not supported by any bourgeoisie government, who basically coexist peacefully as stakeholders in Kazahkstan already
The halted production is hurting them every day
The protestors demands were things like forming independent unions and lifting restrictions on political organizing. They were even forming protest and workers councils, much like the soviets. Are the communists leading? I don't know, I don't think so. It appears more like a spontaneous uprising. It is however very clear that the protestors stand on their own and are opposed by all bourgeois powers and their apparatus. What will be the conclusion? Who knows. But the people here squawking about colour revolution and ignoring all evidence and arguments to the contrary are being slanderous.

The RT people would tell you to side with the government on this 100%
>On 30 March 2016, Minister of National Economy, Erbolat Dosaev, announced that from starting from 1 July, 1.7 million hectares of agricultural land would be put up for auction.[2] This initially caused discontent on social networks, which turned into calls for protests. According to some Kazakh journalists, the boiling point was not the amendments to the Land Code, but the country's difficult economic situation due to declining oil prices and the devaluation of the tenge despite promises by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to fix the problems. On 11 April, a petition letter was sent to the Nazarbayev and the authorities. The text of the letter appeared in the Kazakh media and on some websites. The letter said that "more than 50 thousand signatures have already been collected in the regions". “If the land is leased or sold to foreigners, then the people will go to extraordinary measures”. Among the signatories of the petition were Abdijamil Nurpeisov, a writer, Murat Auezov, a culturologist, Murat Kalmataev, retired general, Abugali Kaydarov, academician, and Mels Eleusizov, an ecologist.[3]On 20 April, in Astana, civil activist Galymbek Akulbekov held a single picket against the sale of land to foreigners, but he was soon detained by police. On 22 April, in Almaty, around three dozen group of citizens called for the permission of the rally to be held on 21 May.[4]

Yet that only prompted the next stage of the protests, demanding lower food prices, an end of the vaccination campaign, a lower retirement age for mothers with many children and – last but not least – regime change, complete with its own slogan: Shal, ket! (“Down with the old man.”) > >The “old man” is none other than national leader Nursultan Nazarbayev, 81, who even as he stepped down from the presidency after 29 years in power, in 2019, for all practical purposes remains the Kazakh gray eminence as head of the Security Council and the arbiter of domestic and foreign policy. > >The prospect of yet another color revolution inevitably comes to mind: perhaps Turquoise-Yellow – reflecting the colors of the Kazakh national flag. Especially because right on cue, sharp observers found out that the usual suspects – the American embassy – was already “warning” about mass protests as early as in December 16, 2021. > >Maidan in Almaty? Oh yeah. But it’s complicated. >Almaty in chaos >For the outside world, it’s hard to understand why a major energy exporting power such as Kazakhstan needs to increase gas prices for its own population.> >The reason is – what else – unbridled neoliberalism and the proverbial free market shenanigans. Since 2019 liquefied gas is electronically traded in Kazakhstan. So keeping price caps – a decades-long custom – soon became impossible, as producers were constantly faced with selling their product below cost as consumption skyrocketed. > >Everybody in Kazakhstan was expecting a price hike, as much as everybody in Kazakhstan uses liquefied gas, especially in their converted cars. And everybody in Kazakhstan has a car, as I was told, ruefully, during my last visit to Almaty, in late 2019, when I was trying in vain to find a taxi to head downtown. > >It’s quite telling that the protests started in the city of Zhanaozen, smack into the oil/gas hub of Mangystau. And it’s also telling that Unrest Central immediately turned to car-addicted Almaty, the nation’s real business hub, and not the isolated, government infrastructure-heavy capital in the middle of the steppes. > >At first President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev seemed to have been caught in a deer facing the headlights situation. He promised the return of price caps, installed a state of emergency/curfew both in Almaty and Mangystau (then nationwide) while accepting the current government’s resignation en masse and appointing a faceless Deputy Prime Minister, Alikhan Smailov, as interim PM until the formation of a new cabinet. > >Yet that could not possibly contain the unrest. In lightning fast succession, we had the storming of the Almaty Akimat (mayor’s office); protesters shooting at the Army; a Nazarbayev monument demolished in Taldykorgan; his former residence in Almaty taken over; Kazakhtelecom disconnecting the whole country from the internet; several members of the National Guard – armored vehicles included – joining the protesters in Aktau; ATMs gone dead. > >And then Almaty, plunged into complete chaos, was virtually seized by the protesters, including its international airport, which on Wednesday morning was under extra security, and in the evening had become occupied territory. > >Kazakh airspace, meanwhile, had to contend with an extended traffic jam of private jets leaving to Moscow and Western Europe. Even though the Kremlin noted that Nur-Sultan had not asked for any Russian help, a “special delegation” was soon flying out of Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov cautiously stressed, “we are convinced that our Kazakh friends can independently solve their internal problems”, adding, “it is important that no one interferes from the outside.” > >Geostrategy talks > >How could it all derail so fast? > >Up to now, the succession game in Kazakhstan had been seen mostly as a hit across Northern Eurasia. Local honchos, oligarchs and the comprador elites all kept their fiefdoms and sources of income. And yet, off the record, I was told in Nur-Sultan in late 2019 there would be serious problems ahead when some regional clans would come to collect – as in confronting “the old man” Nazarbayev and the system he put in place. > >Tokayev did issue the proverbial call “not to succumb to internal and external provocations” – which makes sense – yet also assured that the government “will not fall”. Well, it was already falling, even after an emergency meeting trying to address the tangled web of socioeconomic problems with a promise that all “legitimate demands” by the protesters will be met. > >This did not play out as a classic regime change scenario – at least initially. The configuration was of a fluid, amorphous state of chaos, as the – fragile – Kazakh institutions of power were simply incapable of comprehending the wider social malaise. A competent political opposition is non-existent: there’s no political exchange. Civil society has no channels to express itself. > >So yes: there’s a riot goin’ on – to quote American rhythm’n blues. And everyone is a loser. What is still not exactly clear is which conflicting clans are flaming the protests – and what is their agenda in case they’d have a shot at power. After all, no “spontaneous” protests can pop up simultaneously all over this vast nation virtually overnight. > >Kazakhstan was the last republic to leave the collapsing USSR over three decades ago, in December 1991. Under Nazarbayev, it immediately engaged in a self-described “multi-vector” foreign policy. Up to now, Nur-Sultan was skillfully positioning itself as a prime diplomatic mediator – from discussions on the Iranian nuclear program as early as 2013 to the war in/on Syria from 2016. The target: to solidify itself as the quintessential bridge between Europe and Asia. > >The Chinese-driven New Silk Roads, or BRI, were officially launched by Xi Jinping at Nazarbayev University in September 2013. That happened to swiftly dovetail with the Kazakh concept of Eurasian economic integration, crafted after Nazarbayev’s own government spending project, Nurly Zhol (“Bright Path”), designed to turbo-charge the economy after the 2008-9 financial crisis. > >In September 2015, in Beijing, Nazarbayev aligned Nurly Zhol with BRI, de facto propelling Kazakhstan to the heart of the new Eurasian integration order. Geostrategically, the largest landlocked nation on the planet became the prime interplay territory of the Chinese and Russian visions, BRI and the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU). > >A diversionary tactic > >For Russia, Kazakhstan is even more strategic than for China. Nur-Sultan signed the CSTO treaty in 2003. It’s a key member of the EAEU. Both nations have massive military-technical ties and conduct strategic space cooperation in Baikonur. Russian has the status of an official language, spoken by 51% of the republic’s citizens. > >At least 3.5 million Russians live in Kazakhstan. It’s still early to speculate about a possible “revolution” tinged with national liberation colors were the old system to eventually collapse. And even if that happened, Moscow will never lose all of its considerable political influence. > >So the immediate problem is to assure Kazakhstan’s stability. The protests must be dispersed. There will be plenty of economic concessions. Permanent destabilizing chaos simply cannot be tolerated – and Moscow knows it by heart. Another – rolling – Maidan is out of the question. > >The Belarus equation has shown how a strong hand can operate miracles. Still, the CSTO agreements do not cover assistance in case of internal political crises – and Tokayev did not seem to be inclined to make such a request. > >Until he did. He called for the CSTO to intervene to restore order. There will be a military enforced curfew. And Nur-Sultan may even confiscate the assets of US and UK companies which are allegedly sponsoring the protests. > >This is how Nikol Pashinyan, chairman of the CSTO Collective Security Council and Prime Minister of Armenia, framed it: Tokayev invoked a “threat to national security” and the “sovereignty” of Kazakhstan, “caused, inter alia, by outside interference.” So the CSTO “decided to send peacekeeping forces” to normalize the situation, “for a limited period of time”. > >The usual destabilizing suspects are well known. They may not have the reach, the political influence, and the necessary amount of Trojan horses to keep Kazakhstan on fire indefinitely. > >At least the Trojan horses themselves are being very explicit. They want an immediate release of all political prisoners; regime change; a provisional government of “reputable” citizens; and – what else – “withdrawal of all alliances with Russia.” > >And then it all gets down to the level of ridiculous farce, as the EU starts calling on Kazakh authorities to “respect the right to peaceful protests.” As in allowing total anarchy, robbery, looting, hundreds of vehicles destroyed, attacks with assault rifles, ATMs and even the Duty Free at Almaty airport completely plundered. > >This analysis (in Russian) covers some key points, mentioning, “the internet is full of pre-arranged propaganda posters and memos to the rebels” and the fact that “the authorities are not cleaning up the mess, as Lukashenko did in Belarus.” > >Slogans so far seem to originate from plenty of sources – extolling everything from a “western path” to Kazakhstan to polygamy and Sharia law: “There is no single goal yet, it has not been identified. The result will come later. It is usually the same. The elimination of sovereignty, external management and, finally, as a rule, the formation of an anti-Russian political party.” > >Putin, Lukashenko and Tokayev spent a long time over the phone, at the initiative of Lukashenko. The leaders of all CSTO members are in close contact. A master game plan – as in a massive “anti-terrorist operation” – has already been hatched. Gen. Gerasimov will personally supervise it. > >Now compare it to what I learned from two different, high-ranking intel sources. > >The first source was explicit: the whole Kazakh adventure is being sponsored by MI6 to create a new Maidan right before the Russia/US-NATO talks in Geneva and Brussels next week, to prevent any kind of agreement. Significantly, the “rebels” maintained their national coordination even after the internet was disconnected. > >The second source is more nuanced: the usual suspects are trying to force Russia to back down against the collective West by creating a major distraction in their Eastern front, as part of a rolling strategy of chaos all along Russia’s borders. That may be a clever diversionary tactic, but Russian military intel is watching. Closely. And for the sake of the usual suspects, this better may not be interpreted – ominously – as a war provocation. >http://thesaker.is/steppe-on-fire-kazakhstans-color-revolution/ Anonymous 2022-01-08 (Sat) 11:26:32 No. 681565

Essentially demoting the rest of the world to Chinese pay pigs for the greater good.

Reminder to retards that the US literally helped train and fund Kazakhstan's army, and they participate in joint-training exercises.
<Kazakhstan’s security forces receive funds from the U.S. International Military Education and Training program, the Foreign Military Financing program, the Overseas Humanitarian Disaster and Civic Aid program, the Wales Initiative Fund, the Global Peace Operations Initiative, and the Building Partner Capacity program. Kazakhstan’s military participates in U.S.-funded military exercises like Steppe Eagle, Viking, Eager Lion, and Shanti Prayas. https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-kazakhstan/ The country seems to successfully occupy a geopolitical niche as a neutral zone which has proven favorable to both Western as well as Russian/Chinese investment, maintaining close cooperation with both camps. This is why global capital on all sides has lined up behind Kazakhstan's comprador regime.

look at this:
https://thediplomat.com/2016/06/kazakhstans-land-reforms/ >On March 31, 2016, then-Minister of Economy Erbolat Dossayev announced at a Press Conference in Astana plans to implement the bill, “On the implementation of changes and additions to the Land Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan,” adopted by the Mazhilis (Parliament) on November 2, 2015. >Under the new bill, entities with (at most) 50 percent foreign ownership were eligible to lease agricultural land for 25 years, a 15-year extension from the current code that since 2011 has allowed for a 10-year lease. The bill also eliminated leases on agricultural land to residents of Kazakhstan, creating instead an auction-like mechanism (called a konkurs, or competition) wherein Kazakhs would purchase agricultural plots, thereby acquiring title.Sage !61KGLATVW. 2022-01-08 (Sat) 15:32:13 No. 681746
>>681742 >Land reform is an extremely sensitive topic in Kazakhstan. In 2003, when the Land Code was introduced, legalizing the notion of private property for the first time in Kazakhstan, people protested and the controversy forced Prime Minister Imangali Tasmagambetov to resign. With 43 percent of the workforce residing in rural regions and 18 percent of the workforce engaged in agriculture, modifications to the Land Code directly impacts a significant portion of the population. Plus, Kazakhs possess an intimate relationship with land; they fought against warring, nomadic tribes for hundreds of years to secure the territory, and view land as the source of all life. There is a Kazakh saying, “land is mother, and you do not rent out your mother.” It appears, that the presidents mother is for rent, a whore

>>681742 >>681746 In the interests of neutrality, i will post the dubious partnerships of this paper, the diplomat,
"The Diplomat has entered into formal partnerships with influential public policy and news organizations. One of the most prominent is the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Through a partnership with CSIS's Pacific Forum Young Leaders Programme, The Diplomat provides insights and analysis from its staff and collaborators.[citation needed] The Diplomat also maintains partnerships with RealClearWorld, ENN Environmental News Network, the Foreign Policy Centre, The Interpreter, Danwei, ChinaHush, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, Global Radio News, International Affairs Forum, the Atlantic Sentinel, China Talking Points, War Is Boring, East–West Center, Foreword, and the Vivekananda International Foundation."
however, they also said in that article
"Dossayev’s announcement of supposedly sweeping land reforms took the country by surprise, prompting individuals in major metropolitan to gather in the streets to protest the bill.
They (falsely) claimed that the law that would grant foreigners the right to purchase land. The backlash ultimately forced Dossayev and Agricultural Minister Asylzhan Mamytbekov to resign."
so again, although this has washington think tank fingerprints, it doesn't really come down on the side of the protestors, and the actual facts it talks about, land reform and so on, are repeated in other source

>>681751 >do people here really believe that if protesters "win" somehow they're going to overthrow the whole system and establish socialist kazakhstan? Of course not, and that isn't the point. Class struggle takes on more and less advanced forms, and it develops into more advanced forms by doing battle with the bourgeoisie, winning concessions, suffering defeats, experimenting with various forms of organization, etc. As communists our duty is to support and encourage this process, and that means supporting outbreaks of popular worker discontent in an effort to guide them towards more advanced forms which actually threaten the ruling order. Remember the Communist Manifesto:
<Now and then the workers are victorious, but only for a time. The real fruit of their battles lies, not in the immediate result, but in the ever expanding union of the workers. This union is helped on by the improved means of communication that are created by modern industry, and that place the workers of different localities in contact with one another. It was just this contact that was needed to centralise the numerous local struggles, all of the same character, into one national struggle between classes… <This organisation of the proletarians into a class, and, consequently into a political party, is continually being upset again by the competition between the workers themselves.

Kazakhstan participated in five consequence management field exercises (2003-2012) and the country hosted the EADRCC’s “ZHETSYU” exercise near Almaty in 2009. Kazakhstan also offered assistance to Allies and partner countries affected by natural and man-made disasters, following eight urgent EADRCC requests for international assistance. >Kazakhstan has been actively engaged within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme since 1993. At present, the leading areas for cooperation include environmental security and defence against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents.

Interview of Red Yurt by the Communist Worker's Party of Finland. Originally It was done in 2 parts that were published in July and September of last year. Here is the re-published and translated interview with DeepL in its entirety:
https://www.ktpkom.fi/yleinen/punainen-jurtta-ja-kazakstan-osa-1/ 1/? Red Yurt and Kazakhstan (Part 1) >The events of the last few days in Kazakhstan have surprised the Western media and many Western commentators. In July and September of last year, the Workers' Daily published a two-part article on the history and present of Kazakhstan. We now republish the article with an assessment. >The interviewer Lari Miniailo is hereafter LM and the interviewee Red Yurt PJ. >If one of our readers asks a pedestrian what they know about Kazakhstan, a large number will probably say that they know or have seen Sasha Baron Cohen's film Borat. Unfortunately, the character of Borat is not representative of Kazakhstan, as there are many contradictions with reality. One of them is this: the Kazakhs are Asian, Cohen's character is more like a stereotypical Middle Eastern character. >The Kazakh communist group Red Yurt was recently interviewed by the newspaper Työkansan Sanomat. Before you read the translation of the interview, a little factual information about Kazakhstan. >Kazakhstan is located in the northern part of Central Asia. Its neighbours to the north and west are Russia, to the east China, to the south Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. The country covers an area of 2 724 900 km² and is the ninth largest in the world. Much of the country is steppe and desert. >The Kazakhs are a people of Turkic origin. Islam spread to the region in the 700-800s. Kazakhstan's present territory was home to various nomadic states, but was eventually annexed to the Russian Empire in the 1700s. During the Russian Civil War, Kazakhstan was annexed to Soviet Russia and in 1936 the Kazakh Socialist Soviet Republic was formed. >In 1991, Kazakhstan was the last true federal republic to secede from the Soviet Union. From independence until 2019, the authoritarian Nursultan Nazarbayev, known as Elbasy (Leader of the Nation), was president. >The country's gross national income (GNI) is the second largest in the former Soviet Union, at $188 billion. GDP per capita is the fifth highest at $9 828. The Human Development Index is 0.825 (0.001 higher than in Russia), the fourth highest in the former Soviet Union. >LM: What can you tell us about the conditions under which present-day Kazakhstan was formed? >PJ: Kazakhstan declared independence on 16 December 1991, the last to leave the Soviet Union, just before the final disappearance of the first proletarian state in history. In fact, our country turned out the light when it was the last to leave the house that was being demolished. Probably this can even be written off as a plus for our President - at least he was not directly involved in the break-up of the Soviet Union. >While it cannot be said that Nazarbayev had nothing to do with the break-up, he was not in the front line. In fact, Nazarbayev came to the presidency on a wave of nationalism and took advantage in 1986 of the student unrest that led to the resignation of Moscow-appointed Gennady Kolbin in 1989. >Nazarbayev has not fuelled nationalism. The republic has so far avoided major ethnic conflicts, despite the fact that more than 100 nationalities live in the country. However, an exception occurred in February 2020, when a conflict between Kazakhs and Dungans in the village of Kordai escalated into mass pogroms and killings: 23 000 Dungans were forced to flee to neighbouring Kyrgyzstan. >But all in all, the relatively peaceful 1990s were one of the first president's main achievements. The reasons for this, in our view, lie not in the president's moral qualities, but in the political and economic situation. >In many ways, Kazakhstan resembles Russia. Open persecution on the basis of ethnic origin would prevent the ruling class from doing business, and they use only enough nationalism to justify the existence of private property. >LM: And what about the economy? >PJ: One can immediately say that Kazakhstan is in many respects, especially economically and politically, very similar to Russia. After Russia, we also decided to use shock therapy, to privatize everything possible. >We have exactly the same raw material economy, exactly the same gas and oil line, the same undervalued local currency exchange rate in relation to the purchasing power parity, the same anti-Soviet ideology of the ruling class and the same destruction in industry, science, medicine and education.Anonymous 2022-01-08 (Sat) 16:59:32 No. 681861

>Something is slightly better than in the Russian Federation, something worse, but the differences are insignificant. It seems that we are all repeating the same thing one after the other. >Compared to Russia, Kazakhstan came out of the 1990s more easily. We have not had civil wars and major terrorist attacks. On average, the population is probably a little poorer than in Russia. Most of the emigration waves took place in the years after perestroika, when the Russian-speaking population started to leave for Russia. This significantly altered the proportions of different nationalities in the population as a whole, and the destruction of agriculture changed the national proportions in the cities, as it drove Kazakhs out of the previously prosperous state and collective farm land. >The collective and sovkhozes have been destroyed, most of the factories have sunk into oblivion, and the remaining factories and natural areas are being sold to foreigners. This is how the capital of the United States, Great Britain, Turkey, India, Denmark and then China appeared on our territory . In the streamlined language of modern politicians and economists, Kazakhstan is increasingly involved in the world economy. In fact, we have become the periphery of Europe, the United States and China, the raw material of the developed world. >After all you have read, you might think that there is hopeless darkness and horror in Kazakhstan. But as long as oil, gas and coal allow the oligarchs to get rich, the country will keep going. That's why everything looks pretty decent in the big cities and all the shopping malls in former factory buildings give the impression of prosperity. >Kazakhstan itself is the regional centre of Central Asia, our domestic capitalists even own large companies in neighbouring countries. Along with Russia, migrant workers from neighbouring republics also come to work here, which can be taken as a sign of some prosperity.Red Yurt and Kazakhstan (Part 2) >LM: What about political life? >PJ: Something incredible happened in politics in 2019 - President Nazarbayev resigned. Well, how did he resign? He just resigned from the presidency. He is still the chairman of the Security Council of Kazakhstan. It looks like Nazarbayev is gone and there at the same time. Now he is simply and modestly called the leader of the people - Elbasy. Even the face on television has not changed since he left. >In honour of Nazarbayev, the name of the country's capital was changed to Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana). This was a gift from the new president to his predecessor. You can imagine how great the real power of the Nazarbayev clan is to have to give such gifts. >Nazarbayev ruled for almost 30 years. And in fact most of the population was quite happy with it. Many were even frightened by the idea of a change of president. We all understood that predatory hawks ruled above. >Nazarbayev's departure could even lead to a redistribution of power. However, the people have seen enough of the upheavals in Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan and say: "All is not well with us, but it is worse with our neighbours". The paternalism of generations of Soviets, combined with dense bourgeois propaganda, does have an effect. But there were exceptions. >Nazarbayev's friends and relatives chose to play politics on their own. His son-in-law Rakhat Aliev, for example, fled the country. In Austria, he hid from the Kazakh police. They were looking for him on charges of kidnapping and extortion, but the Austrian authorities refused to hand him over. And then he was found hanged in his cell. >But our Navalny copy is still alive. He is the leader of the "Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan", the "innocent victim" of the authoritarian regime, the "freedom fighter", Mr Ablyazov. For the people of Kazakhstan, he is the 'asshole' who makes YouTube not work at night, because during his broadcasts, state censors interfere with the activity. "Sitting in his Paris, not letting us relax after work, damned criminal!" Ablyazov was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment for orchestrating the murder. >We also had a disbanded Communist Party, which was dissolved in 2009. Only part of it remained, under the colourful Kosarev, in the Kazakh People's Communist Party, a twin brother of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. In 2020, this ridiculous party has already changed its name to the Party of the People of Kazakhstan, which rejects communism even in its name. >One of the most serious events in our political life is the shooting of demonstrators in Zhanaozen in 2011. It all started with a strike by workers of a Chinese oil company, which escalated into a riot and ended with the police shooting into the crowd. This became a stopping point for many, because it became clear to everyone that our President was not hesitant to use such violent means. >Despite this sad experience, our workers were not afraid to strike. In December 2017, one of the biggest strikes by miners took place at the ArcelorMittal Temirtau plants. After that, there were no major industrial actions. But the interest rate crisis exposed all the vulnerabilities of our economy. The population's income started to fall rapidly, and this year there were 12 strikes in just two months. >We are better off with the interest rate crisis than most countries in the world. Quarantine measures were generally applied in time and our medical collapse is slower compared to Russia. We have even developed our own vaccine, which very few countries can do today. The fact that we can do this surprised even us. But the whole thing is about the scientific legacy we have retained from the Soviet Union. "Damn Stalin" is to blame for building the Institute of Biological Safety in 1950 for the needs of the people. >LM: Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? >PJ: We do have something ridiculous. Our nationalists are no worse than the Ukrainians. Jesus turns out to be Kazakh. What Adam was, we are still arguing about with the Kirghiz. And there is no longer any doubt that Alexander the Great was a Kazakh. >Our bourgeois are also lying about the famine of the 1930s. And this is no longer very funny. They claim that in the early 1930s more people died of hunger in our country than the total population. And the numbers keep growing year after year. And the worse the economic situation is today, the blacker communism is portrayed. Yet the people remember from whom all the present capitalist fortunes were stolen. >This is probably all that can be briefly said about Kazakhstan over the last three decades.

The English translation omits that part, so the Cubans see Kazakhstan as a country they hold friendly relations with, so they probably fear the worst if a pro-West regime change occurs. Also is that comment something said by the Ministery of Foreign Affairs of Cuba or a similar position?

>>682042 Certain elements of Russian politics are blaming Turkey and ISIL for the protests, claiming they are sympathetic to Islamic Theocracy.
However, ErDOGan supports the kazakh government. Furthermore, Turkey and Israel usually align in political goals, wanting to partition syria etc. Israel, which funds and arms ISIL with mossad cash, also supports Kazakhstan.
Israel and Turkey also support the East Turkestan Uyghur Islamists. So this should tell you all you need to know about Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is at the very least promoting Uyghur Islamism in China under the table, and recently wanted to criminalize criticism of the Nazi Turkestan Legion. The New World Order, whose capital is Nur-Sultan, and who has Rothschild world banks in all major powers around the globe, clearly wants Kazakhstan to win. China, though officially supporting Nur-Otan, the ruling party of Kazakhstan, is clearly attempting regime change against the NWO.
Trump antivaxxers, alongside communist parties in russia, greece, mexico, and the Communist Party of China, are resisting the New World Order's attempts to Islamize Central Asia with a pro-Kazakh government Color Revolution. East Turkestan is supported by the NWO, NATO and CSTO.

An interesting article from the Cuba´s webpage on diplomatic representations that might help us understand a little why is it that the Cuban government is backing the Kazakh government. The article is only found in Spanish, but basically it states that back in May the Cuban ambassador to Kazakhstan and the vice-minister of their Ministry of Economy held conversations back in May where they talked about expanding cooperation in several areas: commercial, scientific, bio-tech, fight against Covid, agriculture, energy and mining. So it seems clear that Cuba has a very real interest on backing Kazakhstan´s gov and not the people protesting:

RUSSIAN MAOIST PERSPECTIVE (translated)
http://maoism.ru/20292 The unrest that broke out in the west of Kazakhstan and quickly engulfed the entire country became a natural result of the long-term policy of the oligarchic dictatorship. The Nazarbayev-Tokayev regime, which became a consequence of the decay of Soviet state-monopoly capitalism, has been holding on to police truncheons for three decades and pursuing a tough neoliberal policy of shock therapy, most seriously from which the most vulnerable sections of the working people suffer. The trigger for the January events was a twofold increase in gas prices, and at first the petty bourgeois strata of car owners apparently participated in the protests, but the urban poor and the working class, tired of poverty, lawlessness and corruption, quickly joined the unrest.
The protesters, in particular, demand the departure of Nazarbayev and the complete resignation of the government, the return of the 1993 Constitution, the release of political prisoners, lower prices for food and fuel, lower retirement age, higher wages and pensions, and other measures.
Due to the mass and organization of the protests, and especially because of the radical mood of the masses (the seizure of administrations and the fight against the army and the police), caused by the active participation of the working class in protest, which continues thanks to the declaration of the strike, the regime was forced to make concessions: to partially cancel “ gas "innovations (initially it was about the return of the previous prices for hydrocarbon products only in the Mangistau region), and then to make gas prices lower than the pre-reform ones, to dismiss the government and even to deprive the" Elbasy "of Nursultan Nazarbayev of his lifelong post of head of the Security Council, as well as promising re-election of parliament. But these measures seemed insufficient and cosmetic to the Kazakh masses, and people remained on the streets of cities in all regions of the republic. The response to the escalation of protests was the habitual move of the elites,symbolically "returning" gas to the people in the form of a tear mixture to disperse the demonstrators, as well as flooding the streets with military equipment and disconnecting the Internet and telephony. Judging by the incoming news, this did not stop the rebels, who in a number of cities repulsed punitive units and disarmed them, seized administrative buildings and destroyed the offices of the ruling bourgeois Nur Otan party. This was followed by reports of the departure of representatives of the elite from the country, but quite expectedly, the country's President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev promised to crack down on the rebels, whom he called “banditry elements” and “financially motivated” “conspirators”, introducing a state of emergency in the country. According to partially confirmed information, Russian security forces allegedly also went to Kazakhstan, although the Kremlin officialdom claimswhich considers what is happening as an internal affair of the neighboring state. However, it can be assumed that the fall of the Nazarbayev dictatorship could hit Russian imperialism, so it is possible that the results of secret diplomacy may be measures to save the fraternal regime connected with Moscow both politically and economically. Even the cosmonauts of the Republic of Kazakhstan with serious faces are asking the Russian military to save the frightened Kazakh people, but in fact the oligarchy of Kazakhstan worried about their power.Even the cosmonauts of the Republic of Kazakhstan with serious faces are asking the Russian military to save the frightened Kazakh people, but in fact the oligarchy of Kazakhstan worried about their power.Even the cosmonauts of the Republic of Kazakhstan with serious faces are asking the Russian military to save the frightened Kazakh people, but in fact the oligarchy of Kazakhstan worried about their power.
An important point of the current protests and a lesson for all subsequent ones is that the protesters were organized by the support of the labor collectives of some enterprises, which not only participate in street protests, but also organize political strikes and economic strikes, which largely unsettled the regime and forced it to serious, albeit formal, concessions. It is worth noting that Kazakhstani workers have accumulated a lot of strike experience and struggle against violation of their rights in recent years, and grapes of anger have ripened since at least 2011, when the authorities staged a bloody massacre of striking oil workers in Zhanaozen. By the way, this long-suffering city has become one of the epicenters of the January "gas" protests.
Now the future of Kazakhstan depends precisely on the working class, its awareness of its role in what is happening and its ability to rally around itself the working people of the country. If he manages to stand at the head of the protests and turn the often spontaneous riots of a desperate people into an organized movement for a truly democratic reconstruction of the country, there will be a chance that the uprising will not be crushed or turned into a formal transfer of power from one capitalist clan to another without changing the economic base.
The movement towards a new democracy - democracy in the interests of the majority of society - is possible only if the new government of the country is represented not by the next oligarchies, systemic or non-systemic politicians and bureaucratic clans, but by representatives of the working masses. The interests of the majority of workers can only be represented by political structures independent of the establishment, representing the working class and ready to become the communist vanguard of all the oppressed. And such forces in Kazakhstan, alas, are weak, although we dare to assume that this country, despite the 30-year capital-bureaucratic despotism, has the most vivid experience of the struggle of workers for their rights and freedoms in the entire post-Soviet space.
The movement of workers and the oppressed in Kazakhstan is represented by the Trotskyist tendency, which is relatively rooted in the country's large cities, despite the repressions of the regime, in places close to the working collectives, as well as by the retrograde communists of the Brezhnev persuasion, who have long been on the sidelines of the class struggle. It is clear that these forces are unlikely to automatically become the political vanguard of the lower classes.
There is still no powerful party of the working class and all oppressed groups in Kazakhstan, as well as in most of the republics of the former USSR due to the many years of domination of the revisionists and their direct heirs, who became the new tsars and beys. Therefore, alas, there is no need to talk about a socialist perspective for Kazakhstan in the near future. But if the working class manages to build its line in this element and show independence in its actions, this can be an important step towards the emergence of such a force that can become a compass of the movement towards socialism, and not a cog thrown from the working ship of our time, whose optics are disgusted any bursts of popular unrest in the ex-USSR as "external intrigues" or "wrong revolutions." After all, this is what, as a rule, the majority of post-Soviet and “red” guards are engaged in today, in the worst traditions of opportunism, in solidarity with rotten governments and seriously fearing that her majesty history will rock their cozy sectarian sofas.
We wish the proletariat, the oppressed masses and the people of Kazakhstan success in the struggle for their future and the future of their country!
From our side, the Russian Maoists, it is necessary to direct all our forces to provide class solidarity to the workers of Kazakhstan, to do everything possible to reveal and prevent the plans of the Russian and Kazakh capital to suppress the protests by the force of the tracks of Russian tanks. The fight continues!

What do you want me to say? that the violence is justifiable because he wants to defend international trade?

Yes, oil workers, protesters were protesting. Does that mean these guys (Tokayev's) can't be attacked by worst factions than theirs?

Kazakhstan is a country with a lot of muslims who might have been inspired by ISIS, at the same time that there are workers who are fed up with the goverment fucking them up everyday (and the times they went on strike the president straight out shot at them).
Reminder that during the russian civil war there were like, 50 factions (most of them contrary to soviet rule, some of them being like social-revolutionaries but ones being slighty more radical than the other…), or how in the civil war there were like 10 al-qaeda and radical islamist organizations which fought each other (and are probably fighting eachother as we speak) and against Assad (which btw the syrian civil war happened because of stuff like what's happening in Kazakhstan, mostly a drought and Assad behaving like a neoliberal, and although I don't know how the situation with NATO was like before the civil war, I mean Syria hates Israel since always, but they helped on the Iraq war, although that might have been real politik tbh).
The problem with non-organized protests, like the ones we're seeing, is that everyone is revolting at the same time.
Also you gotta recognize that after 30 years of being promised a better life, Kazakhstans must be fucking furious with their goverment.
