They straight up use the same old red scare arguments that the far right use against them lmao

Like holy shit have some self-awareness.

Motherfuckers saying eat the rich and then calling Mao a genocidal monster for eating the rich.

Can't make this shit up.

      Yes, it is. But unlike China, that's not why Russia is an official enemy. Russia is involved in a competition between capitalists*. It happens all of the time. It's part of how capitalism works.

      *We know from the recent experience of the early 90s what will happen to the people of Russia if NATO prevails, so even in a fight between capitalist nations you can pick a side. This definitely isn't a 2-way street.

          It's the reason that the relationship developed the way that it did which is different (China only became an enemy by being a success outside of the imperialist order, while Russia was a never fully defeated enemy which desired to join the imperialist order but was unallowed without greater concessions/poverty to the imperialists). You're thinking in simple metaphysical categories. Rod_blagojevic (hopefully) means that China isn't a bourgeois dictatorship which is why SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT has led to its enemy status. Russia is a bourgeois dictatorship which is an enemy because of its RESISTANCE. It's the process which is determinant and the category which provides the frame within which the process is understood.
