u were on the trans-siberian? fuckin cool. That's been my dream for aaages, but i always been too distracted.
It's the problem of Empire. Russia (like China, and other massive landmass empires) is inherently repressive. Has to be. That's the crux of the problem. Nexus' of power. This is why i find Wahabbi Islamists most intersting. They are not traidional muslims by ANY stretch of the imaginiation. Nor do thye want to reverse history to a period of islamist ascendency (that did not exist in the shape they envisage). They proclaim a post-modern resistance on a global scale. They understand that if Chechnya becomes indpendent, without them there, then inevitably the country will fall under the Empire of global capital (which they portray as the West but really it isn't). So this is their counter-Empire, which is radical, new, and a clean break of any form of Islam of the past. Which is why they are fighting against Muslims countries just as much. That's why they have hijacked every independence (justified) nationalist movement where there is any sort of muslim base. Because they recognise, correctly, in the post-modern world, nationalism is irrelevant.
