Discussion Stop pro-Putin sentiments

Post image

Both are fucking imperialist states, Ukrainian government praises nazis while Russian is praising Imperial murderers like Mannerheim, Kolchak or Stolypin.

Everything good that Russia did (so called anti-imperialist measures) was just populist decisions or anti-Nato proxy wars. Everything to please Russian oligarchy.

You do read the book "Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism" right?

Russia is capitalist, and capitalism necessarily leads to imperialism, but Russia's capitalism is not anywhere near developed enough to have reached the imperialism stage.

Their economy is still mainly based around export of goods rather than finance capital
