You’re aware that the Soviet Union doesn’t exist any more, right? Like, the Berlin Wall came down 35 years ago, so when you uncritically defend Russia you are actually defending a hyper-capitalist oligarchy with the same economic system as the EU and the US, and not a “communist” opposition to that system (not say the USSR was ever actually communist either).
I don’t care what economic system Russia uses. That’s their internal matter. What matters to me is that they’re the only country with 6,000 nukes, and therefore the only country the US fears. So for my country to be independent, we need Russia to act as a counterweight to the US. (This is also true for many other countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa.)
Look at the OPs post history, they post constantly in support of Russia, China and North Korea, as though Russia is in some way ideologically aligned with the other two.
Sure, but that’s basically irrelevant to the point being made in OP’s memes.
Also, there is no ‘for the most part’. Geopolitical alliances notwithstanding, they are in no way ideologically aligned: I’ll say it once more for the people with their fingers in their ears, “Russia is not a socialist state, and hasn’t been for over three decades!”
It is relevant, though. They’re geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It’s ridiculous to think that they’re the biggest threat to world peace
research the multiples definitions of authoritarian and answer how any definition is any different than
Who’s attacking straw men now? When did I ever insinuate that the US/EU/anyone else were in some way better than Russia? And what the fuck does
skin colour have to do with any of this?

You’re aware that everyone is aware of that, right? If you’re going to argue with a straw man, at least build a better straw man.

They aren’t ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they’re geopolitically aligned by circumstance.

So what?
I’ve spelled it out twice now, if you honestly still don’t understand I don’t think there’s anything I can say that will make it clear to you…
Ask GPT what “critical support” means, spoiler: it’s not double damage support.
I’m not going to ask GPT anything, because I’m capable of critical thought
It doesn’t sound like you’re capable of critical anything
“Critical thought” is not how anyone learns what words mean.
I’m already aware of what the words mean, it was a jab at the way that relying on chatbots for information damages people’s ability to think.
Yeah the double damage type of thought.
I’m not the one shilling for imperialists.
Current homework:
I actually accused OP of uncritical support (which means supporting someone/something without any criticism).
Russia is an imperialist state. The fact that other states are also imperialists doesn’t change this fact in any way.
Current homework:
No you attacked a straw man.
No you don’t know what imperialism is and yes Russian is a capitalist hellscape(thank you USA) but it’s not imperialist. Redo your homework
Additional homework:
Sometimes OP post something relevant or correct but people hit themselves in confusion after too much critical damage thinking.
