Could use the Netherland as a counter argument, unless it a totalitarian regime.

The trains running on time really fried the American brains

Paying your wage with my earnings while you don’t do what I asked you to do is ransom apparently

They misspelled the battle of the USS liberty wrong

"We are worse than a third world country"

True, USA is becoming the UK

I have read 2 books from him: It's Me, Eddie and Journal d'un raté (idk the title in French) and Emmanuel Carrère's book called Limonov that gives a overall view on his career and beliefs (of the lack of). There used to be a video about Limonov on youtube made by some Russian Radlib, but i can't no longer find it. As for the interaction with the Exile people, It's multiple episodes of Radio WarNerd, Chapo Trap house and Trueanon when mark Ames are on them.

The connection with the Leader of LDRF Zhirinovsky, it's probably because Limonov and it's followers (mostly hooligans) are used as bodyguard or youth division for the party, but don't quote me on that one. The politics of LDRF are mostly the political positions (especially between 90s-2000) with more populist flavour to it, some of the political positions were also picked up by United Russia to fired up popular support especially because of the trouble in the Caucasus after the dissolution of the USSR. Is the LDRF right wing? yeah obviously? are they serious about it? Idk there are probably some factions in the party that believes that shit but most of them seems to be grifting their way into power to boost their own business interest, at least in the higher stratas of the party.

As for the National Bolsheviks party, it's mostly edgy teenagers who hates the west and foreigners but also like the nationalistics elements of the USSR. Letov was not really involved and got out earlier. Limonov eventually splitted and made his own party called Other Russia when the original party got banned. Dugin eventually grifted his way into the academia which is where he found some connections with some ''powerful'' people, but his ''intellect'' and ''philosophy'' were never really popular within the members of NBP (because they are hooligans and they don't care/know who is Julius Evola). The only time I hear about Dugin before the Ukrainian War is some random terminally online philosophy communities of when the Chinese State TV did an interview with him about ''Eurasianism'' (the State TV also has the late wife of Lyndon Larouche time to time), no normal people in Russia really have heard of him.

Tldr: edgy art project turned into post soviet brain rot political project

The beef with some members of the exiles, especially Mark Ames is that he used to prank call politicians and famous people in Russia and they were forced to leave eventually because he fucked with the wrong guy and the politician who got pranked send the security service on them.

As for Limonov, he is part of an art punk scene that makes edgy political statements based on the books I read when he was “booted out” of ussr (and the exiles people probably has some degree of association with him. Iirc his column was mostly about his life in NYC). The national bolshevik party started probably as something not tangible politically and the schism in the movement probably created offspring of people that are more politically motivated within all the political spectrum such as Dugin.

In some uncanny resemblance Limonov is kind of like the founding father of fascism Gabriel d’Annunzio, both are edgelord artists who during the turbulent year of the country tries to create some kind of Utopia: fiume for d’annunzio and Novorossiya for Limonov, fail to create any concrete projects, but the carcass got picked up by associate to grift their way into power: Marinetti who wrote the futurist manifesto later became a traditionalist and wrote the fascist manifesto and Dugin grift his way to become a political professor and propose his nutcase theory in the university level and (unlikely) state level.
