I would love if Russia returned to socialism and genuinely supported anti-imperialist forces in the global south out of ideological conviction and earnestness rather than cynical realpolitik like it does now. And despite its many contradictions and flaws, the Soviet Union was a genuinely positive force which was an ally to liberation groups all over the world from the very moment it was born, while successfully demonstrating a different path for humanity away from the dismal grip of capitalism, which only "failed" after 70 years of constant siege/invasion from the capitalist powers. The world we're living in is but a consequence of its dissolution, now that the current capitalist hegemon has nothing to keep it in check.
I want Lenin to break out of his glass case and hit Putin with the folding chair
May I ask why?
