Thread: Are Russians too conservative?

You can be beaten in Russia regardless of the color of your skin. Even a perfectly white law abiding person can be beaten any time. That's a sad fact. But. If a white man beats the other white man this won't be called nazism.

Crocodile, there are, perhaps, a few hundred people in Russia who CAN be called neo-nazis. They have ideology, they have a consistent political program, they rally the followers, etc. That's politics and they don't beat people just to make an example. What concerns the other so called neo-nazis - their ideology is non-existant at all. They were probably affected by some nazi or xenophobic propaganda and they're not overly bright in general. Still, neo-nazism represents politics while those who attack foreighners or caucassians on the streets - aren't. They would attack a white man immediately after they'd beated someone with different skin color. That's just a belligerent street mass of young lumpens who suck at anything useful. Dare I call this 'neo-nazism'? I doubt it.

P.S. This post is for clarification of the terms only. This won't make any difference for those who would be unlucky enough to get beaten.

I agree with that definition. The neo-nazism would strive to get the power first and then attack the foreigners or the caucassians on the streets or at their homes on a large scale in a lawful manner. Those who do that now on the small scale are just the enthusiasts of the neo-nazism.
