Russia and necessity to organize outside the state

 The elections in Russia just showed how impotent is the opposition without a structure outside the state 

When you use state infrastructure to communicate and to transfer funds, you are not able to create a momentum of people to overthrow Putin.

Communists and before them fascists knew this and they nationalised every Organisation from trade unions to boy scouts.

Russia needs an alternative structure, to undermine Putin and maintain stability after his demise . Otherwise it will be back 1992 but with a more selfish atitudine in the population.

Meanwhile in west the companies are eager to sell you a subscription model, where you rent your house, you rent your car, your information, only the weakness of the central government stops some western democracies to enter on an authocratic path as Hungary or Russia.

I am afraid what Trump will do with US intelligence power and power of corporations who concentrate a lot of information and infrastructure.

In dictators rise there are 3 phases:

- they mobilize a radical segment against their enemies (SA in Germany againts communist, social democrats and others)

- they get rid of the people they used for exacting violence (in the night of long knifes SA leadership was decimated by SS)

- they control the state Administration and each disident is dealt individually.

Trump could use right wing militia on democrats, then use national guard to quell right wing militia and bring 'order', he and his family will rule the Republican party who will win every election for next 20 years. Trump will leave the office after 8 yr. Then his sons or Ivanka will succed, or a puppet president will be set 

Luckily the states are independent, and people on the country side are self reliant and they could rebuild themselves.

If democrats think at betterment of US and want to stop Trump, the should convince Biden to withdraw and put a younger candidate.

Any will do.
