kinda they export capital goods, their corporations behave in imperialist ways sometimes and im sure their capitalist would love to be an empire, however they are not part of or atleast not at the core of the global imperialist capitalist system that exists today they are a victim of it and of organizations like the imf and the world bank not the beneficiaries, and while they export capital goods they do so at about the same rate as brazil and south korea for example countries which no one would refer to as being part of the core. so no

however russia is a settler colonial country and is imperialist in that way and while i get that the problems faced by indigenous people in russia are rather minor compared to countries like the usa or canada its kinda fucked up that most leftits wont even acknowledge this reality.

Curious when Germany went to conquer the Chinese market in 1897 they did so with guns and warships not with trade vessels, i think these Germans forget what conquering a market looks like.

literally has a socialism checklist as if centuries of history and the material conditions of any and all nations on earth could be boiled down to 7 bullets points, straight up dogma.

that has nothing to do with it, its still bad that those people died and we shouldn’t be making jokes about it. its fucked up that ur respose to someone saying that civilians dying is bad and we shouldnt laugh at it is to point out that more civilians died elsewhere, what is wrong with u.

Thats a lot of words to address things i didnt fucking say. maybe i should not have said “targets” maybe i should have said “kills” instead, but lets be clear is not like Russia wouldnt if the felt they needed to, they have targeted civilian infrastructure like the powergrid before.

what exactly is ur take here? this is a bad thing, its fucked up that Russia targets civilians sometimes, worse things happening elsewhere doesnt mean that this is ok or that we shouldn’t care, or that we should be disrespectful of civilians dying.

this is a disturbing thing to post, as in its disturbing that ur reaction to 26 civilians being murdered in a war is to laugh at it, that is psychopath shit.
