Reminder: “US bad” is not a valid argument for “Russia good”
Nothing in your rant justifies Russia invading a sovereign country, murdering its citizens or deporting its children.
Arguing agaist a nonexistent “pro US” stance and using it to morally justify Russia is exactly the kind of nonsense I was pointing out.
The USSR did not fall because of a US coup. It collapsed because of its own internal contradictions.
“Nothing to eat for 10 years” is the find out part of Russia fucking around.
They are no better than the Nazis. Exact same MO. Occupy countries through Imperalistic expansion, genocide the local population, and make simps like you eat up their propaganda.
I look forward to the upcoming Russian collapse. Would be nice if they stop spreading nuclear weapons to terrorists like North Korea and Iran first.
(in a similar vein)
There is a third choice, where you say both are bad (ie. anarchists and pure marxists). But most people on lemmy.ML are Marxist Leninists (ML) who simp for authotarian states that call themselves socialist, like Russia, China, and North Korea.
Pure Marxist, Classical Marxist, Orthodox Marixst, whetever you want to call people who follow Marxism without Leninst or other authoritarian leaning interpretations.
They are the only countries who resist the western bourgeoisie imperial order
By trying to create their own imperial order. Nazi Germany also resisted the western imperialist order by trying to create their own imperial order.
Your point about Russia not even pretending to be socialist is very much true. Which makes it more baffling that some people on ML support it. Do they just support anything that isn’t western even if it’s arguably worse?
Yes I’m sure Soviet Union killing anarchists and genociding their Ukrainian polulation was the “direct consequence of US Imperialism”.
Also a 3 day old account posting on a single issue and spamming dozens of comments every 10 minutes. Dodgy behaviour.
Funny how it’salways some other countries fault, never the fault of the dictators.
Let’s swallow the Russia bit, right? Because Russian history from Ivan III to Nicholas II is basically exactly imperialist colonialism.
And then you just focus on the China bit. Yes, the westerners did that to China in the past. Does that mean that modern day China is structurally incapable of being an imperialist country in the 21st century? Or because the CCP pays lip service to socialism (while Xi tells people to train as Confucians) we’re supposed to ignore the actual capitalist nature of its economy/society?
Stalin says to Kropotkin: “The difference between us is that you’re an aristocrat while I’m from the working class.”
Kropotkin answer: “True, but we also have something in common: We are both class traitors.”
That was Kruschev and China’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Every time this gets reposted I need to point out that it is spelled: “You are not an anti-imperialist”
English is stupid.
French:
A beautiful man:
Un <= masculin (A)
Homme <= masculin (Man)
So the adjective should be masculine, right?
But as homme 1) starts with a H and the word does not have nordic descent, it’s not the masculine ‘beaux’ but feminine :
Un bel homme.
But not belle eh, just bel (they obviously sound exactly the same).
Because, it sounds better.
Which language was stupid now again?
It’s crazy humanity can communicate at all.
