    The three biggest countries in the world are all imperialist trash. Yet you stan for Russia so hard. None of these places care about people. China is doing the best at feigning it in this particular moment with the green energy push. US and Russia are just bumping their dicks on everything, blind af.

      What do you think imperialism is? Is it a vibe, or is it something we can measure? Marxists have a coherent and measurable working theory of imperialism, but I want to know what you’re claiming here.

      Pure vibes based politics.

      The only imperialist country here is the US empire, both China and Russia get tarnished and discredited whenever possible thanks to the empire’s massive western propaganda reach.

        Yeah if you live in America this is true. Propaganda is everywhere and each country can probably have a pretty graphic like this. I just gotta say you are lost in the sauce. No current government really hits all marks on caring for people. Most are absolutely abysmal and should go in the corner and suck their own toes. We should be doing better. All of us.

    You’d be better seeing fall of USSR as cautionary tale of letting senile morons run a country to the ground.

    USSR imploded with little help from the West.

    Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan; Solidarity trade union in Poland was homegrown; Chernobyl wasn’t sabotaged; the old guard who went against Gorbachev hated the West more than anyone.

      Solidarity trade union in Poland was homegrown;

      No it wasn’t, they even bragged of recieving help and money from USA and Vatican.

      Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan

      Come fucking on, Afghan govt called USSR for help after USA funded and armed the fundamentalist insurgents, again they even brag about it.
