Kremlintarianism

Kremlintarianism [1] is is the defense of Kremlin policy (Kremlinism) by alleged libertarians.

Kremlinism and Kremlinophilia

Kremlintarianism is a form of Kremlinophilia and Putinism.

As such it defends Kremlinism (the policy of the Kremlin kremlin.ru), in particular Russian Imperialism.

Characteristics

Staunch desire for the US, NATO, the EU and any half-decent country to avoid/lose wars, especially when Russia, a Russian ally, a former Russian ally or Russia-supported regime is involved (Ukraine should surrender/be conquered, Taiwan should be conquered by Russia-ally China [2], the US should have stayed out of WWII [3], etc)

Staunch support for Russia to be successful in its wars of aggression (Russian invasion of Ukraine is to be admired[4], and Russia should be successful in it [5])

Denial of genocides by allies of Russia, or genocides stopped by NATO intervention [6]

Favors decentralization of (already small) European states into even smaller [7], indefensible ones[8], dissolution of NATO [9][10], dissolution of the US (“Libertarian” Party), etc. Calls for small states to be neutral, non-interventionist, etc.

Conversely (!), favors expansion of the largest state on earth (Russian Imperialism) [11]. Has no objection to Union State [12]. Does not call for Russia to be neutral, non-interventionist, etc.

Always sides with the most anti-libertarian, most authoritarian regime in any conflict, in particular, if that regime is or was supported by Russia at some point (China over Taiwan [13], Russia over Ukraine, anyone over Israel and the US, etc)

Of course, they will call their opponents “russophobic” [14]

Of course, their staunchest opponents are Russians[15] (starting, of course, with the ones from Москва itself ru: Мне стыдно быть либертарианкой). Followed by Ukrainians, Poles, etc.

Indeed, Kremlintarianism is directly correlated to residence at a safe distance from the Kremlin, lack of Russian language skills, etc:

Have you noticed that [Kremlintarian] support for Russia increases in proportion to how far the [Kremlintarian] lives from [the Kremlin]? Libertarians from Finland to Ukraine are all appalled at the betrayal. Libertarians in Russia (those who dare speak) feel similarly. Here is an appeal by the Libertarian Party of Russia. [16]

Kremlintarians will try to trick useful idiots into moving closer to the Kremlin [17], while remainining at a safe distance themselves.

The worst kind of Kremlinophilia

Arguably, Kremlintarianism is the worst type of Kremlinophilia, as its purported ideas (libertarianism, antistate, antiwar, decentralization, etc) are the complete opposite of what it is actually supporting (Reverse straw man).
