A group of 110 billionaires own over 40% of all wealth in Russia.
But yeah, they're good cause they supposedly are "anti-imperialist" by opposing the US.
if anything this is Venezuela good because they're the ones paying for free shots
Anti-imperialism should really be called anti-western-imperialism, because anti-imperialist countries can be imperialist themselves (like Crimea in Russia).

I'm not a fan of using words and definitions in that manner, to be honest. It's the same discussion as the old "black people cannot be racist, because by my definition racism is always institutional" canard. You're throwing people off by using words in a sense that are not generally understood that way.
That said, fuck western imperialism.
Yeah I'm going to start calling it anti-western-imperialism now. Definitions are a fuck and cause way more issues than we think they do.
Anti-imperialist countries are often important to the survival to the survival of socialist countries, because they are willing to trade with them. For example: Iran trading with Venezuela. Anti-imperialism should really be called anti-western-imperialism, because anti-imperialist countries can be imperialist themselves (like Crimea in Russia). Anti-imperialist countries are not "good" countries, they are simply the strange bedfellows that ML states find themselves with because the Warsaw pact collapsed.
