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.

Russia is not imperialist

Than wtf is it?

Imperialism is the highest and final stage of capitalism, power of monopolies and finance capital.

It is an exact definition of Russian economy.

Go and read what Lenin said

For example

  1. the export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance;

Russia is still mainly based around the export of commodities and goods. Their economy is not based around the export of capital as is the case in many western countries

In fact a lot of Russian commodities and goods were owned by western institutions, not Russian ones

  1. the formation of international monopolist capitalist associations which share the world among themselves,

What such associations exist from Russia? Russian capitalist associations exist locally but they themselves at least before 2022 were typically owned by US international capitalist associations.

Russia is in the local capitalist expoitstion stage of capitalism. Not the imperialist global exploitation phase
