    Do you actually believe it’s inconsistent? Because it’s really quite straightforward: The US-centered capitalist empire must be stopped, and it’s genocidal proxies need to be eliminated, for the survival of the human race.

      The inconsistent part is giving a free pass to Russia when they do everything the US does just not as extensively.

        If you actually believe they’re doing even a tenth of “everything” the US is doing, you are woefully underinformed to be having this conversation

        Russia is not stealing the surplus value and resources of the global south on an immense scale, which is the primary reason why its resistance to the US Empire and its European vassals plays a progressive role because of this.

          Russia steals the surplus value for within it’s borders, the US steals surplus value from beyond it’s borders. Like I said, Russia does everything the US does just not as extensively.

            So you support the Soviet Union, back when the USSR didn’t steal the surplus value within its borders?

            Russia is indeed capitalist, correct, not imperialist. Glad we can come to an understanding on why the US Empire is the biggest global obstacle to socialism, and that the Russian Federation’s lack of imperialism makes it worthy of critical support in undermining the US Empire.
