Ignoring the distinction between possible ambition and material reality is intellectually bankrupt to put it lightly. You label Russia and Iran imperialist seemingly solely because they are capitalist. By that metric every African nation is imperialist. That is pure unadulterated idiocy. Imperialism requires the capacity to enforce unequal exchange globally. These states lack it and thus at current cannot be labeled imperialist as they are not.
Your second paragraph reeks of Western chauvinism. Russia halted the ethnic cleansing and a decade-long shelling campaign in the Donbass. That is liberatory for the people there regardless of Moscow’s motives or it being a side effect of the struggle against Washington as I already pointed out. Iran has tens of thousands in the streets supporting its stance against the genocidal Israeli regime and US empire. This contradicts your caricature. Yes Iran is capitalist with internal exploitation. But compare it to Libya after Western intervention. The alternative to these regimes is not liberal democracy. It is neocolonial destruction. Iran also funds Hamas Hezbollah PFLP and AnsarAllah among others which directly aids the oppressed against their oppressors. You dismiss this because it inconveniences your moral narrative.
Your third paragraph is hysterical projection. I discuss structural positions and class relations. Not heroes or villains. Not altruism. You cannot grasp dialectics so you reduce everything to childish morality tales. Again I very clearly stated multiple times that the good is mostly side effects of their material positions and struggles quite literally the opposite of your moral hysterics seeking to condemn condemn condemn with no analysis.
You close by calling dissenters a cult while dodging all of the substance to continue to push your doctrine. You refuse to engage because you have no counter-argument. Only insults. Your “reason” is just ideological compliance with the imperial core. The irony is palpable.
