Here I am, asking pretty much the same question again, only a year later. I ask again because conditions have changed a lot even in as little as a year. BRICS is becoming more powerful, state enterprises are becoming stronger in Russia, the USSR remains a positive memory to the majority of Russians and Belarusians. What are your thoughts and predictions?
I'll try not to ask the same question again to prevent from annoying yall.
I understand its not considered a 'bloc' but in practice, it is a bloc of countries loosely alligned against american hegemony; the politicized nature of it by example of Argentina is evidence of this.
When I say soft pressure it was with the implication that China wont be expecting BRICS countries to have revolutions; instead it will just leverage monetary aid with socialist policies. The long strategy is that the citizens of these countries see the benefit of the socialist system through investment and move democratically towards socialist allignment through the progression of material conditions.
