Russia is not even close to being more imperialist than the US. I’d describe its actions in Ukraine as revanchist, not imperialist, and to be clear thats still bad. But United States does like 1000% the amount of neoimperalist garbage throughout the global south and thats well documented: en.wikipedia.org/…/United_States_involvement_in_r…
And that article is just the overt stuff, not the just regular old economic plundering of the global south they get up to usually.
More capitalist? Eh, I guess that can be argued. Both countries are run by oligarchs though. The USA is just more polite about it.
Russia? Is just as close to communism as the sun is to being cold.
We don’t disagree on this and I never stated otherwise. You have very clearly strawmanned me.
