Imperialism is defined as the monopoly stage of finance capital.

Russian economy is dominated by the state and oligarchs, not by independent finance capital. It’s territorial expansion while being an regional historical imperialist action is defensive and self limiting and driven mostly by nationalism and security concerns.

Your list provides critical empirical evidence for a dialectical analysis but requires contextualization to avoid oversimplification. See response from comrade @[email protected]

Ok thank you for your warning that RT is a Russian propaganda outlet. It’s greatly appreciated as no one on this instance knows.

It is known that as an unaffiliated independent youre immune to propaganda. It’s very noble of you to warn us.

Yes it’s actually very intelligent to consider only one viewpoint as propaganda and not all. How’s the echo chamber?

It’s crazy how predictable the lib crowd is.

It’s like they’re all the same person because they all parrot NATO propaganda and try to silence anyone who challenges them, even in the small insignificant online spaces they have.

Holy crap… look at how those libs use words but say nothing.

RT is an information source like other outlets. If the poster doesn’t know that all news are essentially propaganda their comments aren’t serious.

Lib Warning!

Classic crypto fascist comment. Post hog

Like the entire SMO that NATO has trouble thwarting?

I left my imperial echo chamber and my western brainpan cannot comprehend other narratives

The weapons producers are tiny companies in comparison. If a senator got a call from Apple and from Rheinmetall at the same time, he would 100% take the Apple call first

Don’t talk about subjects you have no clue about

. China wants the US to be bogged down with Ukraine when China invades Taiwan.

It’s the other way around. It’s the US interests to stop a peaceful Chinese reunification. Even ghouls like mearsheimer acknowledge this

You’re a tone def lib that doesn’t understand that while your criticism is true in regards to Iran, it exists in a context where your gullible repeating it is used as a justification to intervene militarily.

Justifying imperialism with a touch of islamophobia by parroting western foreign policy in the name of LGBT rights, despite western countries having persistent homophobia

I’m saying western capital made a fuckton of money with the proxy war in Ukraine. NATO is a very profitable market for weapons producers. And in fact since 2022 Rheinmetall, palantir, etc exploded in stock price because the EU is spending 100s of billions of Eur on defense.

The money that you claim that Chinese Business make in order to draw a apparently their interest in the war is just projection. Actually it’s in Chinas interest to stop the war because China is both Russias and Ukraines biggest trading partner and it’s disrupting trade.

Too much money to be made by Chinese businesses profiting by the unjust invasion

The projection lol. Check out western defense stocks since 2022

Big if true

Anti-capitalism is when you tax billionaires. The more you tax them the more anti-capitalister you are

Economic liberalism is associated with markets and private ownership of capital assets. Economic liberals tend to oppose government intervention and protectionism in the market economy when it inhibits free trade and competition, but tend to support government intervention where it protects property rights, opens new markets or funds market growth, and resolves market failures.[2]

Shitlibs even too lazy for wikipedia
