I'm sorry, but you were bringing up BlueAnon talking points, and that's why you were jokingly quoted as such. Russia is not behind the US Empire's downfall, that's been the gradual decay in imperialism and the dominance of Statesian finance capital. This is why a return to Marx and Lenin is necessary, otherwise conspiracy theory becomes the explanation for everything.
I don't even know what that is, sounds like Conservative Propaganda Machine bullshit to me. A lot like TDS. Seriously, where do I go to hear these Blue Anon talking points?
And I did not say they were. I said they were heavily involved with election interference in the 2016, 20, and 24, and that they are the engine behind the global rise of far-right extremism. Those aren't some kind of "talking points," those are facts. There are lots of reasons for the downfall of America, from interruption of Reconstruction, to Dodge vs Ford, to the tax code re-write of 1974, and much more. Russia doesn't get credit for being the primary force behind the fall of America, but they have been a serious pressure point over the last 75 years, and especially the last 15.
I don't know if I'd go as far as Marx & Lenin, but I'm certainly supportive of Democratic Socialist concepts.
By BlueAnon, I mean the idea that Russia is behind the problems caused entirely by the US Empire's capitalist system. Russia has not been behind any serious election interference, and even if they were, the DNC is still a capitalist party and is also responsible for the US Empire's system.
