The Russian military will also be in the peacekeeping contingent sent to Kazakhstan by the Collective Security Council.
As we learned, a special forces company of the 76th Airborne Division, as well as a company of the 45th Airborne Special Forces Brigade, received the command from Russia. Several more special forces brigades are on high alert.

>Even though Israel’s relationship with Kazakhstan has become noticeably closer since Netanyahu began his second stint as Israeli prime minister in 2009, Kazakhstan has been the lynchpin of Israel’s Central Asia strategy since the early 1990s. Israel is Kazakhstan’s fifth largest Asian trade partner, and imports over $1.4 billion worth of goods from Kazakhstan each year.
>The oil industry is the principal driver of Israel’s economic links with Kazakhstan. Israel imports 25 percent of its oil from Kazakhstan. Chen Bar-Yosef, the Managing Director of the Israeli National Infrastructure Ministry’s Fuel Authority, has praised the quality of Kazakhstan’s oil, and has encouraged Kazakh manufacturers to sell oil directly to Israeli private companies.
>Kazakh policymakers believe that Israel could indirectly assist Kazakhstan’s attempts to increase its oil exports to East Asia. In November 2006, Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister Karim Masimov announced that Kazakhstan would expand its investments in Haifa’s oil refineries.
>Masimov has also called for an extension of the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Pipeline to Israel. Should the BTC pipeline expand to Israel, Israel’s oil terminals at Ashkelon and Eilat could be used to increase Kazakh oil shipments to Europe and East Asia.
>In addition to importing Kazakh oil, Israel has played a prominent role in assisting President Nursultan Nazarbayev’s economic diversification efforts. Israeli business leaders have been especially vocal supporters of closer Israel-Kazakhstan investment linkages.
>Nimrod Novik, vice president of Israeli multinational Merhav, lobbied the Israeli government to invest in Kazakhstan during the 1990s, claiming that Kazakhstan is “one of the wealthiest countries in the world underground, and one of the least developed above ground.” Israeli policymakers heeded Novik’s advice. By 2009, 52 major Israeli companies had established business operations in Kazakhstan.
>Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has also used his close relationship with Nazarbayev to advance Israel’s business interests in Kazakhstan. Barak spoke to Nazarbayev in late 2014 about how Israel could help Kazakhstan harness its industrial innovation potential and improve the quality of its health services. Further advances in these fields will ensure that Israel remains a vital economic partner for Kazakhstan, even as Astana strengthens its alliance with Iran.
>Israel and Kazakhstan have been counterterrorism partners for almost two decades. Kazakhstan’s fear of terrorist attacks rose precipitously during the mid-1990s, due to the rising presence of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) and Hizb ut-Tahrir, the destabilization created by the Tajikistan civil war, and blowback from the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan. The Kazakh military believed that a closer relationship with Israel would strengthen its counterterrorism efforts, as Israel had decades of experience combating Palestinian terror organizations.
>According to a 2014 Jamestown Foundation report, Israel-Kazakhstan security cooperation increased dramatically after the 9/11 attacks. Israel became a natural ally for Kazakhstan after 9/11 because of its ability to produce sophisticated missiles, air defense systems, and stealth weaponry. Kazakh policymakers also believed that closer ties with Israel would reciprocally strengthen Kazakhstan’s security links with the United States and the European Union. As Kazakhstan was seeking to reduce its security dependency on China and Russia, Kazakh policymakers responded cordially to Israel’s diplomatic overtures.
>Recent Israeli actions in Kazakhstan reveal the strength of the Jerusalem-Astana relationship. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have trained Kazakh military forces to use Iron Dome technology, and repeatedly held joint military exercises in Kazakh facilities.https://thediplomat.com/2016/07/the-israel-kazakhstan-partnership/ Kazakhstan?

Bank bros we got too cocky
https://twitter.com/OlgaNYC1211/status/1478936177340264451?s=20All Kazakhstani financial institutions have suspended their activities
Press Secretary of the National Bank Ramazanov: financial organizations of Kazakhstan have suspended their activities
"The Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Regulation and Development of the Financial Market and the National Bank of Kazakhstan, taking into account the conduct of counter-terrorism operations by law enforcement agencies and taking into account temporary disruptions in the Internet, .. report a temporary suspension of the activities of all financial organizations," Ramazanov said
MOSCOW, January 6 - RIA Novosti. All financial organizations in Kazakhstan have suspended their activities against the backdrop of a counter-terrorist operation and disruptions in the Internet, the Khabar 24 TV channel reports with reference to the press secretary of the National Bank Olzhas Ramazanov .
He noted that this measure is also aimed at protecting the health and life of employees and clients of financial institutions.
Mass protests in Kazakhstan began in the early days of 2022. Then the residents of the cities of Zhanaozen and Aktau in the Mangistau region - an oil-producing region in the west of the country - opposed a two-fold increase in prices for liquefied petroleum gas, then the protests spread to other cities. In Alma-Ata , the old capital of the republic, on January 4 and 5, clashes with security forces occurred, the police used gas and stun grenades. Throughout Kazakhstan, the Internet was turned off, and the broadcasting of a number of TV channels was temporarily stopped.
On January 5, Tokayev introduced a state of emergency for two weeks in the Mangistau and Almaty regions , as well as in Alma-Ata and Nur-Sultan . This regime provides, in particular, a curfew from 23.00 to 7.00, a ban on holding mass events, strikes and the sale of weapons, as well as strengthening the protection of especially important facilities. On the same day, the state of emergency - also until January 19 - was extended to the entire territory of Kazakhstan.
On the morning of January 5, Tokayev dismissed the government and headed the republic’s Security Council, removing the first head of state, Nursultan Nazarbayev , from this post . In addition, the President stressed that the authorities will act as tough as possible in relation to the offenders, and promised in the near future "to come out with a new package of proposals."
On the night of January 6, Tokayev held the first meeting of the Security Council under his leadership, at which he called the situation in Kazakhstan "an undermining of the integrity of the state" and said that he had asked the CSTO for help "in overcoming the terrorist threat." On the same night, the CSTO Collective Security Council decided to send collective peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan in connection with Tokayev's appeal. The force, it was reported, will be sent for a limited time period with the aim of stabilizing and normalizing the situation in that country.

Emergency services such as hospitals and poly-clinics have been affected. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in Mangystau, Almaty, and Nur-Sultan, and other cities may follow.
U.S. government personnel are advised to avoid demonstration areas and shelter in place, and avoid standing next to balconies, or windows, and stay indoors whenever possible.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. You should avoid demonstrations and exercise caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings or protests.
Consulate General Almaty will be closed to visitors on Thursday, January 6 with personnel tele-working. All U.S. citizen services and visa interview appointments have been postponed for Embassy Nur-Sultan and Consulate General Almaty.

>>491579I know this is probably confusing to you, considering you clearly aren't well read, but once you factor in Marxist metaphysics you can clearly see that this shit is much more complicated than "capitalist thing bad socialist thing good". True, capitalism is bad, but the context of capitalism is almost as important as capitalism itself, and in the context of capitalism here it is being used to maintain a Soviet Republic longing to reintegrate with its motherland. Putin is setting the stage to reform the Soviet Union sometime this year, as such a temporary period of state oriented capitalism (which is indeed socialism, read Mao and Deng) is necessary both to build up the material conditions and productive forces and lull the capitalist world into a false sense of security. America sponsored this glowie uprising because they caught wise to the fact Kazakhstan wasn't in their grasp as they thought, and their Trotskyite puppets are dancing to their tune just like in the 30's. Ipso facto, when we look into Marx's view of history and its pattern for repetition, we can see that this battle is not nearly as simple as "capitalism vs socialism", but "western decadence vs eastern productivity", the later of which is much more amiable to the development of healthy socialism.
>>491584You are like the other poster neglecting the inherent complexities of socialist dialectics. Take for example the Molotov Rippentrop pact, certainly at first glance to the untrained eye this would seem a "betrayal" of the revolution, and Trots naturally took advantage of this surface level observation to rally support to their faction from workers who lacked true class consciousness. However one who has sufficiently read and understood Marx and Lenin could see that move for the brilliance it entails: by allowing these two opposing entities to join, it forced the manifestation of the dialectic, as every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. Thermodynamics, dialectics, thermodialectics if you will. Much in the same way would it be all too easy for us to throw support to these Trotskyite liberalizers, when it is in fact because of its opposition to socialism that we must support the current government as doing so is necessary for the contradictions inherent in the system to fully manifest themselves much as they did in World War 2.

Socialism is also a process, a changing of phases, Russia's material conditions had sadly collapsed due to Yeltsin and needed heavily restructuring if it was to survive as a socialist state in the modern era, hence Putin's tutelage. By having a paternal leading figure, a state can safely build up capitalism and ready itself for a strong transition into socialism, and due to socialist metaphysics this makes it already socialist by its intent. The KRPF wasn't put down due to Putin being anti-communist, but rather because they were trying to jump the gun and end the paternal autocracy period necessary, as outlined by Sun Yat Sen, whom as we all know is the predecessor to Mao Zedong himself. There is a lot of subtlety involved in this conflict that is clearly going way over your head, and I strongly urge you to do some further reading and ask real Russians their real opinions before spewing state department propaganda on behalf of the United States.

The Virginia district of CPUSA published an article going over the situation in Kazakhstan, for those interested.
https://vacpusa.org/2022/01/05/stand-with-kazakhstan/ tl;dr, this uprising reeks of a Western-backed color revolution in the vein of Ukraine, HK, etc.
>It is well known that Kazakhstan is a very important player in several key geopolitical formations. It is a member of the CIS and CSTO; it is also a key supporter of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. In clearest terms, it is a key strategic ally to both China and Russia. So, naturally, a destabilized Kazakhstan would be a big win for imperialist forces, such as those dumping over $777 billion into “defense,” with the stated priority of stopping the rise of Socialist China. Geographically speaking, with the failures of imperialist expeditions in Afghanistan and attempts to manufacture a narrative of genocide in Xinjiang, Kazakhstan is the natural next target. To compromise Kazakhstan would mean to paralyze the entirety of central Asia, and create a “soft underbelly” in the midst of the emerging alliance of China, Russia, and Iran.
>Reports surrounding the situation in Kazakhstan now contain indicators that will come as no surprise to those who have been following the development of “color revolutions,” which came to prominence as an imperialist tactic with Ukraine’s Maidan revolution of 2014, which saw the country split almost completely down the middle between western-backed liberal and neo-Nazi forces, and those supporting the Russian Federation and a return of Communism.
>The U.S. State Department is, at the very least, well aware of the situation and which forces are active on the ground, as indicated by its warning from the embassy of demonstrations being put on in December by another outlawed political faction: Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan (QDT). No such announcements were made regarding the actions being undertaken by other forces on the ground.
>As is standard practice at this point in attempted color revolutions, the QDT are suspected of receiving direct and indirect support from the United States, as indicated by the above, as well as through more difficult-to-trace back channels such as the National Endowment for Democracy, a well known conduit for US foreign imperialism, which has been pumping money into Kazakhstan. It is worth noting here that, as far as Kazakh politics goes, the QDT stands as the most likely favorite for US imperialist interests. Founded and led by overt capitalists, such as current leader, billionaire, and alleged embezzler Mukhtar Ablyazov, their political platform reads like a CIA wish list: neoliberalism, populist nationalism, and anti-China militancy.
>Confirmation or refutation regarding the involvement of the QDT or any other organized group in the current crisis is yet to appear, but we see here clear parallels to the actions surrounding the failed color revolutions in Belarus, Hong Kong, and elsewhere over the past several years.Note also, it seems the NED has been quite busy in Kazakhstan over the past few years:

I think both organizations are legit and do want to help out, and it seems that those parties with better access to what goes on in the ex-USSR, like KKE, are voicing solidarity to the main workers movements in the country.

US-led Western NGOs have been operating in Kazakhstan for many years. The riots are obviously a color revolution that has been brewing for a long time. This is exactly why President Tokayev urges people to remain reasonable and not to listen to provocations aimed at undermining stability and social unity. The intention of the West is to disrupt Kazakhstan to send large numbers of refugees and terrorists to Central Asia in order to achieve the goal of containing China and Russia.

https://twitter.com/NarchoArmChair/status/1478868119808614400):
"The unrest in Kazakhstan, in fact, was provoked by the government itself, which inflated the price of gas by a factor of two. This has hurt many segments of the population, since more than 60% of the consumption of liquefied gas accounts for motor vehicles. At the same time, it is obvious that citizens' discontent is of a broader nature: the prices for everything are going up, while the salaries are low. In general, the oligarchic capital, which has established itself in the post-Soviet space, does not take into account the interests of working people. All of this has led to mass protests. Looking at what is happening in Kazakhstan, there is something for Putin and Mishustin to think about. Prices are skyrocketing in Russia too [..] It is the oligarch's free reign that leads to such consequences. The powers that be are actively exploiting this by declaring a hybrid war on Russia. This time they are trying to take over Kazakhstan, rich in natural resources and having the longest border in the world with our country - more than 7,500 kilometers. It is important to understand that there will be no peace in our expanses without close socio-economic and political-diplomatic ties with the CIS countries. We are encircled by NATO from all sides. The collective West will do everything to destabilize the situation."

We receive dozens of messages with questions: "What is going on there?" With this post, we want to express our position on what is happening.
__
0) The people of Kazakhstan groan under the yoke of the bourgeoisie. Every wave of devaluation, another jump in prices hit the working people. Go through the chronicles of labor over the past few months and you will see that the capitalists, taking away from the working people the gains of Soviet power, drove people into poverty, despair and anger. Constant cuts in social benefits, fines, falling wages and glaring inequality could not go unanswered indefinitely. Although the temporary lull gave the impression of boundless patience among the people, we understood that at any moment a storm could break out, and now - this happened.
1) The unrest that swept through large cities and small towns was preceded by a series of strikes.
Here and there, workers rebelled against bestial working conditions and meager wages. It is obvious that the socio-economic situation of the masses of the people pushes people to fight for their rights. It is also known that any economic struggle always develops into a political one. No one, however, expected that the events would take on such a massive and rapid character. Another, local, as it seemed at first, surge of discontent in a small city in the west of the country, caused by an increase in prices for liquefied gas, in a matter of days grew into protests that swept almost the entire country. Despite the fact that Zhanaozen residents remember the bloody massacre of ten years ago, they again dared to go to the squares. This time they first expressed solidarity and support for small towns, and then large cities in the west. Soon Zhanaozen attracts the attention of the whole country. The government is backing down, but then political slogans are added to the economic slogans and it is no longer about gas, but about changing the ruling regime.
2) Suddenly, Zhanaozen was joined by a regional center close to it - Aktau.
Later, people began to gather in other cities of Western Kazakhstan. Soon, in many major cities of the country, in both capitals (Almaty and Astana), people began to take to the streets in support of protests in the Western regions. Most of the demonstrations were peaceful, but on the last night in Almaty they escalated into mass riots.
3) The authorities have taken the dual position of "carrot and
stick". On the afternoon of January 4, it is announced that gas prices are returning to the old ones, the government is resigning, and with the other hand communication is turned off, entry into cities is blocked, special equipment is introduced, and threats of criminal prosecution are heard. Now the situation seems to be leveling off for the authorities. Protesters have already been dispersed in many cities, and, most importantly, in both capitals it is already relatively calm.
____
1) Competitors.
When the first protests began in Zhanaozen, the liberals sang an old song, saying that it was not the workers themselves who were protesting, but they were being attacked by competing corporations and firms.
No one has evidence for these allegations. The New Year's price increase was indeed sharp and unfounded. It is becoming obvious to people that with gas prices, the prices of all vital goods will soar. The notorious middle class becomes poor, and the poor become beggars.
Opposition.
It is not the first year that the odious fugitive oligarch Mukhtar Ablyazov has been broadcasting from Western Europe - a kind of cross between Navalny and Khodorkovsky.
Despite the fact that in Kazakhstan it is outlawed, thanks to financial levers, Ablyazov has his own manual organization in the country. Nationalist movements are still strong in Kazakhstan. Both of these forces immediately began to try to ride the wave of popular protests and impose their slogans. So far, Ablyazov has achieved only a lot of information noise, and Mamay - one of the main nationalists - was detained by the police.
As long as the spontaneity and disorganization of the protesters indicate that these unrest was not originally organized by anyone, it is indeed a disorderly popular
uprising. But then there was an aggressive vector aimed at riots and vandalism, introduced, apparently, by these opposition forces.
3) Provocateurs.
As soon as the protests began to take place in Almaty, the intensity of cruelty immediately intensified.
There were all sorts of provocateurs and instigators of the crowd. It is possible that these people are government workers who will give room for more decisive action on the part of the military and police.
4) Hand of Moscow / West / Beijing / Washington / Erdogan.
Of course, in any protests, someone from the outside is found to
blame. Even when workers in Zhanaozen went on strike, there was a lot of conjecture, attempts to link unrelated events and blame anyone but the chosen economic model. There is no evidence that the current strikes or protests will dramatically benefit any country. It can be taken into account that Kazakhstan is the most open country for investment; Here, Chinese, Russian, American, and British companies host as at home. Nothing needs to be captured. Through pleasing power, everything can already be bought.
5) Determination on the part of the Kazakh authorities.
We must understand that Nazarbayev is not Yanukovych, it is rather Pinochet.
If it is necessary to shoot the crowd, Nazarbayev will shoot it, without looking back at the "Western partners". He is a tough Eastern tyrant and a cunning politician of Lukashenka's level.
__
1) Of course, we support the workers of Kazakhstan in their fair demands.
It is time for the oligarchs and the state power that represents their interests to finally listen to the needs of the people!
2) But we cannot yet go to the protest itself as an
organization. We clearly understand that we do not have the broad support of the popular masses, who are not yet aware of the class nature of the contradictions that led to the conflict. Decades of anti-communist propaganda contributed to this. If we take to the streets now, we are likely to become a toy in the hands of nationalists and pro-Western oppositionists. People who seriously claim that we can take to the streets and "catch the hanger" are dreamers.
3) Even if an unlikely scenario occurs and the current Kazakh government is overthrown, nothing will fundamentally change for us - for the Communists.
It's just that there will be other people at the feeder.
4) We are against coups d'état without changing the
formation! We advocate radical transformations of social and political life that will improve the lives of the working majority, provide guarantees of social protection, access to quality education and health care. The problem is not the individuals in power, but the world's dominant socio-economic system. And it can be changed only if the whole nation realizes it, and only in alliance with the working people of other countries. That's what we have to work on.

Da newest Politsturm shit
https://politsturm.com/protesty-v-kazaxstane-glavnoe/>Right now, there are massive protests across Kazakhstan that have erupted in Zhanaozen over the rise in the price of liquefied gas. What can be said about the situation at the moment?
>1. The rise in gas prices has only become a pretext for popular discontent. The main reason for the protests is the bad situation of the working people of Kazakhstan due to the economic crisis of capitalism.>2. The protests are spontaneous in nature: they began spontaneously, do not have specific goals and unified coordination of actions. The government is trying with all its might to divide the protest, for which the Internet was turned off throughout the country. >3. A significant part of the protest in Kazakhstan is made up of workers at various enterprises. Accusations are also made against employers: for example, employees of the Kazakhmys foundry and mechanical plant demanded better working conditions and higher wages, miners of ArcelorMittal Temirtau refused to go to work and went on strike, etc. >4. The bourgeois authorities of Kazakhstan are trying to reduce the intensity of protests and are making concessions. The government resigned; the authorities promise to reduce gas prices to 50 tenge per liter. The massiveness of the protests is still holding back the bourgeoisie in the repressive suppression of protests, but the situation is heating up. >UPD: Tokayev's bourgeois government is rapidly losing control and asked the CSTO for military assistance and specifically to the imperialist Russian Federation. >5. Among the protesters, economic demands predominate - improvement of living standards, abolition of high gas prices, lower food prices, higher wages, etc. The workers are not yet fully aware of their class interests: the political slogans put forward by the protesters are still scattered and are predominantly bourgeois-democratic in nature - the resignation of the government, change of "regime" and the president.>6. The intensity of the protests and their social orientation were a surpriseeven for the bourgeois "opposition". some of the liberals are afraid of the activity of workers and their demands. Some of the frightened liberals even went over to support the ruling regime under the slogan of “keeping the crowd out of power”. Others are trying to impose their agenda on the protesters>7. The lack of a coherent political program is a consequence of the fact that the working people of Kazakhstan do not have a political organization. Without its own party and its firm leadership, things will not go beyond economic demands and petty-bourgeois political slogans. In the absence of a communist party that consistently guides and guides workers in the struggle for their rights and socialism, the protesters will inevitably fall under the influence of the bourgeoisie and be deceived. >8. However, such mass demonstrations of workers in Kazakhstan have not been for a long time, therefore, the unification of the working masses, even in a spontaneous struggle for their rights, can only be welcomed. >Given the repressive policies of the current ruling group led by the Nur-Otan party, the revitalization of the country's political life paves the way for a serious workers' struggle for their rights and socialism.>9. The growing political activity of the masses inevitably affects the political life of the entire country. If hundreds of thousands of workers, united even by spontaneous demands, were able to shake the bourgeois regime, then with the presence of their own organization, clearly knowing their goals and the path to them, they will be able to win in the struggle against all groupings of the bourgeoisie. An organized political struggle and victory can be achieved only under the leadership of the Communist Party. She's gone now. But it's never too late to work to create it.>10. The main misfortune of the workers and communists of Kazakhstan is fragmentation, lack of organization, spontaneity. We call on all conscientious readers from Kazakhstan to unite, to educate the local community, especially workers, to help organize trade unions and labor collectives, to send us news and any useful information, and also to join the work of the Politsturm in Kazakhstan.

Seriously the simping there is for China in /leftypol/ is so fucking stupid, I swear.
Of course, we know this might be a colour revolution, not denying that, but seriously, just wait to see what the fuck happens.
I swear to god you people are retarded, US level retarded. For what I've gathered, the demands are quite concise, better wages, better pensions, lower prices, stop giving free gibs to enterprises and the goverment to be expelled. There's no shit about cutting ties with Russia, or general Russophobic agenda going on (now it has, but that's literally because Russia has sent their military to quell protesters in a foreign country).
If it's a revolt to put another oligarch in power, the situation of Kazakhstan doesn't change, if there's a war on it, that means that Uranium will become much harder to come by, which means climatic accelerationism. If the current oligarch keeps it's power (which is fucking buddies with israel, you can't say that of Belarus, or Iran, or Cuba, or fucking syria, places where real attempts of colour revolution have happened), then nothing changes.

We live in the era of a gradually receding US imperialism which is being gradually being replaced by an actually fair and equal international economic order led by China, which is an undoubtedly good thing, but this has one downside. The national capitalist classes of each country have almost no enemies. The capacity for the USA intervene has dwindled and while the American Empire is slowly dissolving into thin air, it has no clear communist enemy to strike against. China is mostly keeping itself to slowly dismantling this empire and promoting economic development.
Those in each country that are on the side of the people - the communists - have no one to look towards and face the arduous task rebuilding their movements from scratch after the destruction of the neoliberal dark ages. They are no better off than the European working classes of the mid-19th century, save for the wealth of historical experience at their disposal.
Still, the USA won't go down without a fight. To a certain extent the intensification of class struggle is a good thing for them, if it allows them to destabilise the pro-China national capitalist regimes of each country just enough so that it leaves them intact, but in a weaker position or if their remaining cultural hegemony which is enforced through the control of such systems as the internet and the strength of their intelligence service allows them to coopt the people's discontent and direct it towards the pro-Western liberal opposition.
But this shouldn't lead communists to give up any prospects of worker's power.
Daily reminder that Navalniy, the person whose political revelance (if that exists at all) in Russia is entirely owed to glowmoney, gave support to the strongest opposition party in any given region in the recent Russian elections, which in most cases was the CPRF. The same CPRF that the CIA intervened against in 1996 and the same CPRF that has kept itself to giving critical support to United Russia only until very recently.
Obviously, we should view every single political action undertaken by the USA as having a malicious, sinister intent, but having such intent doesn't necessarily translate into the actual capability to cause harm. It might as well be that the USA will keep pouring money into their controlled opposition through the usual means and it fails because no matter the weakness of the communists, only their demands truly resonate with the people.
Communist should work towards overthrowing their own national capitalist classes while at the same time isolating the CIA-funded glowpposition. Even if only viewed from the standpoint of anti-imperialism, the actual overthrowal of national capitalist regimes by genuine communist forces only weakens the efforts of the USA to destabilise anti-imperialist forces, because there can be nothing more stable than pro-people regimes.

You know the whole issue of Western communists immediately calling mass protests in an "anti-imperialist"/"anti-western" country a color revolution made me think of the rightoid equivalent. They do it too, but from what I can tell it's not as often and they also tend to not always blame the same people.
For example, the closest thing I would say to be a kind of equivalent of this in the US (not protests but during an election) was the kvetching about Russia with the dems after they lost. I also know iirc that Spanish rightoids were saying the referendum protests in Catalunya in 2018(? I think it was that year, can't remember too well) were orchestrated by Russian glowies. Some Colombian rightoids, the president included lmao, were claiming the same shit about Russia during the protests in Colombia.
I also remember how the same thing happened in Chile during the 2019 protests. Rightoids claiming they were organized by the Communist Party of Chile with the help of Venezuelan glowies. Some people also blamed Cubans and even Colombian commie groups.
Ironically I didn't really see much of this during the George Floyd protests.

>"At the same time, it is obvious that citizens' dissatisfaction is of a broader nature: prices for everything are growing, while wages are low. On the whole, oligarchic capital that has established itself in the post-Soviet space does not take into account the interests of the working people. All this led to massive protests."

Google translate from russian:
1. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the main administrative buildings in the center of Alma-Ata were taken under control during the battles with the rioters. Nevertheless, it is too early to talk about full control over the city, even after lunch there was organized armed resistance
2. Attacks on the TV tower and the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were repulsed, the attackers were killed. Judging by these and other statements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, today in Alma-Ata the security forces have killed at least several dozen people.
3. Also issued a warning - all who resist and will be caught with a weapon in their hands will be killed. In fact, this is already a complete carte blanche for the destruction of any organized resistance. Read the scenario of Tiananmen and Andijan, where the political leadership also gave the security forces complete freedom to restore order. By their actions on January 4-6, the rioters in Alma-Ata themselves did everything to make their shooting perceived as a purely positive phenomenon.
4. Contrary to the stuffing that Venediktov also spread, the CSTO forces are still deploying in Kazakhstan and are not taking part in any suppression of protests, especially since such a task is not even set for them. The protests are crushed by the security forces of Kazakhstan, who are being pulled to the centers of the rebellion. The forces of the CSTO make it possible to release reliable people to strengthen the cleansing units.
5. In a number of cities, protesters say that they are not with the rioters in Alma-Ata, and in general they have already achieved their basic demands - they drove Nazarbayev out and lowered gas prices. With these protesters, the authorities, I think, may well conduct a reasonable dialogue. The conversation with the characters from Alma-Ata will be short. The authorities also called on ordinary citizens who participated in the protests to go home, promising that there will be no prosecution for simply participating in the rallies. Questions will only be for the pogromists.
6. Kyrgyzstan today could not make a decision on the introduction of troops into Kazakhstan. We were unable to collect a quorum. They promise to accept it tomorrow, with a separate proviso that the Kyrgyz will not take part in suppressing the riots. Japarov said this several times for the deputies and the public. Russia, Belarus. Armenia, Tajikistan - all have already formalized the implementation of measures for the introduction of troops.
7. Erdogan said that he expects the soonest formation of the new government of Kazakhstan and the normalization of the situation in the country. Worried about Turkish business. China also called for an early end to the crisis and the restoration of stability. It is worth noting that all phrases about stability are associated exclusively with Tokayev. Not a word about Nazarbayev, as if he no longer exists.
8. The total number of killed employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops was 18 killed and 742 wounded. Of those killed, 2 or 3 with their heads cut off. The numbers are likely to rise by the evening. It is also reported that 30 protesters were killed at 15-00, but this is most likely an underestimated figure.

All the major imperialist institutions are now under one umbrella and international law basically only allows for US-NATO imperialism. Wannabe imperialist institutions cannot grow because they're muscled out by US-NATO and cannot be enforced because they'd come into conflict with US-NATO and would immediately lose, and lose in such a way that would be several times worse than whatever they were trying to gain by enforcing their imperialism.
