You wouldn’t think of a European community of being so insanely pro Russia, yet on every single post mentioning Russia, any negative comments about Russia or their government will get downvoted to hell, some people get banned. I would not be surprised if I am banned or downvoted for posting this. People who are not just blatantly spamming Kremlin propaganda, please say why you are so pro Russia, to someone confused.

      Russia isn’t communist, but it isn’t imperialist, as it utterly lacks the finance capital required to do so. China is a socialist state with near total public control of finance, doesn’t participate in unequal exchange, doesn’t participate in neocolonialism, and doesn’t imperialize in general. Trade is not imperialism, nor are loans in general.
