I haven't really engaged on the whole federation stuff until the recent lemmy.world defederation. Decided to browse lemmygrad and stumbled on this post that linked to an MR article: https://monthlyreview.org/2021/07/01/china-imperialism-or-semi-periphery/ https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/1287727

What an awesome read. I've really been struggling to find discourse on imperialism that's more up-to-date than lenin and boy, did this scratch the itch. If federation leads to more stuff like this, I'm here for it
