We do not take Liberal Democratic parties – they will not be able to build authoritarianism with elements of democracy.
I believe that in this situation, the leading party should have a social-conservative, or better, conservative-socialist ideology. What is its essence?
It's simple: we take the best of socialism and add to it traditional thinking, a conservative type of society. There will be no notorious "Soviets" and the Soviet type of thinking. Russia must remain Russia, even under the conservative-socialist system. I would attribute this ideology to center-left, because authoritarianism with elements of democracy is, and it will be mostly left-wing. Public opinion is right, as it should be, and will be right. The "right" part of the ideology will solve the migration issue, and will support religions, unlike "classical socialism".
And which country already has such an ideological system? Yes, we are going back to China again. According to the constitution, they have "socialism with Chinese specifics." That is, the PRC combines socialism and their national, sovereign traditions. Russian conservative socialism can truly be called, or "with Russian specifics." It will be socialism, which will focus on Russian traditions, conservative society, religiosity, but at the same time will carry its function of socialism.
Therefore, the ideal party would be the "Conservative Social Capitalist Party of Russia (CSCPR)". Let me remind you that there should be a systemic opposition. Young people should have a choice which party to join, but the most prestigious thing should be joining the KSKPR.
By the way, another disadvantage of the communist system is that there was no alternative, except for a pioneer-Komsomol member-candidate for the CPSU-a member of the CPSU. This demotivated the youth.
Now there are other extremes. According to the Levada Center, 80% of young people are not interested in politics at all. There are a lot of youth organizations, there are as many alternatives as you like, but they do not have weight in society, such as the Komsomol, for example. Have you ever heard of the Young Guard from United Russia? Komsomol, but only from the Communist Party, which is nowhere to be seen now?
Problems of transition to socialist capitalism now. (In Russia)
Now “Soviet cadres” are in power. These are people of the old school, brought up in totalitarianism, so many of them adhere to authoritarian views. Many of today’s billionaires are state capitalists. Now there is a transition to this economic system, but there are two problems: the first of them is that under liberal capitalism the transition to the state takes longer if we started the transition from a planned economy to state capitalism. The second problem is that no socialist superstructure is envisaged, and without it, state capitalism is not so effective.
