lol who said he was? we'd all love a second bolshevik revolution and to see him dead or sweeping the streets of Tobolsk, but at the moment he's poking the eye of a worse hegemon.

Russia is not imperialist like The USA and NATO empire is though, and he is an ally of China and is helping Africa develop. That makes him hundreds of time better than Washington

What is a leftist exactly? Is the guy a communist? No. Is he allied to communists? Yes. Is he fighting imperialism? Yes.

Is he fighting imperialism?

only by accident. don't forget the critical part of critical support. the enemy of our enemy isn't our good friend.

It’s not an accident, and intentions don’t matter only actions. Radlibs never cease their mind reading moralizing

He is not allied with communists let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

He is allied with AES nations such as the DPRK, that’s a fact

I said this in another comment sorry for double posting. Keep in mind is entire career he tried to ally himself with the west up to the point they literally went to war with him. Putin does not get a pass just because he’s allied with with these nations, we need to come at this from the position of “the least he could do is have good relations with these nations”

Putin is not a communist so his actions, while much better than the US, should be seen under the lens of right wing and be criticized as such when applicable.

STOP MORALIZING. STOP MIND READING. LOOK AT REALITY

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

You gonna actually point anything out? or just keep typing in caps because it makes your non point look better? What are you even saying at this point. It shouldn’t be out of hand to admit Putin has done good things, but we should be skeptical of a guy who tried to join the Nazi club for his entire career. He doesn’t get a cookie for having what should be considered normal relations to the global south you fucking ding dong.

i just want you to use historical materialism evenly instead of haphazardly and drop your western programming of russiaphobic exceptionalism. For Putin and only Putin we mind read and judge based on hypotheticals.

You really don't have to hand it to Putin.

Fighting imperialism? Lmao. He’s a billionaire oligarch exactly like any US ghoul.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

I love articles about his networth.

Like this one. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/28/business/vladimir-putin-wealth-sanctions/index.html

Nobody knows but it's definitely gorzilliom dollars.

They do the same with Castro and any pushback is met with “is it really that hard to imagine a dictator hoarding wealth?”

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Google Stalin net worth and mfers will say with a straight face "the entire productive capacity of the soviet Union".

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

to be fair, they had to produce a very large spoon, which took the full industrial capacity, just so he could eat the full agricultural capacity.

Fighting imperialism, like democracy or voting or anti colonialism, doesn’t automatically make you a good person nor are you required to be one to do these things.

This is from the Tucker Carlson interview. When asked about NATO expansion after the USSR ended, Putin says that NATO has no reason to expand because the Russia economy matches the interests of the US. Putin says "We are bourgeois now as you are. We are a market economy and there is no communist party with power."



[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

That doesn't contradict who you're replying to. This statement is literally true, all communists I've ever talked to know this statement is true. You can probably count the number of communists who think Putin is secretly trying to recreate the Soviet Union on one hand.
