None of this explains how Russia competing with the West-neolibs is preventing the rise of fascism. Russia is neolib too, there's a fascist movement there too.
In terms of having a less rabid neighbor on China's frontier you're correct and i'll agree that's better than some alternatives. but it ain't providing an alternative to neoliberalism or fascism.
an alternative is what is needed to combat fascism and China, Belarus, even indigenous euro socialists are doing more for that than Russia
talking completely agreeable points about China then transposing them to Russia ain't gonna convince me.
China is a fucking dictatorship of the proletariat im not gonna accept Russia being given the same leeway on the grounds it also opposes US hegemony.
at its core your argument is 'something's gotta give' and you hope Russia is going to take a not fascist path at some future juncture.
where is the evidence for Russia supporting socialism? what has the Putin government done to advance socialism? what is your belief of Putin preventing fascism based on?
wanting a bigger slice of the pie is NOT building the productive forces for socialism. it does not fight fascism.
