    Not a nation-state by their own admission, and they don't really do anything anti-imperialist or materially support any other cause

    Russia is now rising to the sacred struggle to defend its state sovereignty and protect its security. We have always supported and stand by all decisions of President Putin and the Russian government. I hope that we will always stand together in the fight against imperialism.

    -Kim Jong Un, from one of the all time anti-imperialism MVP AES, the DPRK

      You don't have to be a state to be existing socialism.

      But the point is that there are socialists who share my view.

        Ok, address my other point that they don't really do anything with other socialist nations or involve themselves outside their region. They are entirely disconnected from the people involved here, whereas the nations on Asia and in Europe are not. It's easier to get idealist and both-sides the further away you are from the nazis

            Do you live in a NATO nation or the US? You need to be opposing your own nation's involvement and acting as a fifth column.

              Opposing my nation's involvement (which I do) is different than rooting for Russia.

                  People's incorrect interpretation of my position doesn't cause me to adopt that misunderstood position out of spite.

                  And besides, this is Hexbear, not reddit. I thought (obviously incorrectly) I'd be able to have a take against the grain without being called either a Putin bot or a Nazi, but apparently not, as I've been called a Nazi several times already.

                    lmao motherfucker you're the one who started out by accusing everyone of uncritical support for Russian capitalism, don't play that "I'm just smal victim asking questions" bullshit

                    Don't want to be called a nazis, then don't play bothsidism for nazis and don't glorify your ignorance about a conflict that's been waging for nine years now
