Or maybe there's something going on
within those societies that can explain said phenomena without recourse to a foreign bogeyman. Perhaps the free-trade neoliberal order hasn't done that well by a great many people, and with the traditional organs of the left either gutted (e.g. unions), in thrall to neoliberalism themselves (e.g. most soc-dem parties in Europe), the left counternarrative gets either subsumed in bad-faith polemics (see the every-hour-on-the-hour hit pieces against Corbyn and Sanders) or simply isn't publicly available, the loudest voices saying things aren't okay are on the far right. But no, let's make it about those dastardly Russkies!
