        The Russian leader detects a shift in the political balance of power from traditional western liberalism to national populism, fuelled by public resentment about immigration, multiculturalism and secular values at the expense of religion.

“Have we forgotten that all of us live in a world based on biblical values?” asks Mr Putin, dismissing Karl Marx’s dictum that religion is the opium of the masses. Similarly, in the Russian president’s view, liberal ideology has “outlived its purpose”.

The Moscow leader said gay rights were an attack on "traditional family values" - ahead of the meeting of the world's most powerful leaders in Japan.

Mr Putin, 66, said Russia had "no problems with LGBT persons… but some things do appear excessive to us".

"Let everyone be happy, we have no problem with that. But this must not be allowed to overshadow the culture, traditions and traditional family values of millions of people making up the core population."

He said: "[Liberals] cannot simply dictate anything to anyone just like they have been attempting to do over the recent decades.


"This liberal idea presupposes that nothing needs to be done. That migrants can kill, plunder and rape with impunity because their rights as migrants have to be protected."

He added: "Every crime must have its punishment. The liberal idea has become obsolete. It has come into conflict with the interests of the overwhelming majority of the population."

Traditional western liberalism has been based on fucking over poor brown people since it began. 

Putin touches on the most visible split in the west between people who believe that national demos create laws that decide who can and can't enter a jurisdiction and those who believe that universal human rights exist and over ride national laws.

Putin's a socialist. He's the classic warning against putting socialists in power.

Western "anti-imperialists" get a stauner for kleptocratic imperialist autocrats. Meanwhile Trump jokes with Putin about getting rid of journalists. 26 have been murdered in Russia under Putin's reign.

Jeezo, no he's not. Classic capitalist robber baron, yes, socialist, no.

😂 He's always been a socialist and always will be.

Or Stalin. Seemingly Lenin was too soft.
