Reporter: REDACTED
Reason: russian troll

To say they’re only killing Nazis is a bit of a trolling oversimplification, and I wouldn’t essentialize Russia’s motives down to only liberating the people of the Donbas, but “russian troll” is RussiaGate BlueAnonsense.

As to whether Russia is doing imperialism, I’ll copypasta myself:

Honest question from a non-communist, based on your reply here. Does one need to support Putin to be a Marxist?

In a word, no. In a few more words, support for Russia (not Putin, as historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory) is only a partial, temporary, tactical one, in the context of imperialist liberation. Russia is still a capitalist state, though, so it’s a two stage strategy: first liberate colonized bourgeois states from colonizer states, and second revolution within those liberated bourgeois states.

Russia is an interesting case: it has already liberated itself from the post-Soviet “shock therapy” neocolonizers. This occurred during Putin’s administration, which is why he is especially hated by the US. So now the support for Russia is in the context of keeping the colonizers from recolonizing it, and supporting Russia to the extent that it helps other states liberate themselves. But Russia isn’t trying to “liberate” Ukraine, at least not all of Ukraine. It’s trying to resolve the genocidal attacks on the people of the Donbas, and it’s trying to resolve the imperialist military expansion at its border.

There are Russian fascists. Take Navalny, for example, who the US tried to use in its regime change efforts so that it could resume its neoliberal .

All the arrests happening are from people being encouraged on TikTok to become aggressive and angry towards apartheid.

it’s fully owned and operated by people in China

US private equity firms own more than anyone. WSJ: What Is TikTok Worth? Some Say $20 Billion, Others Say $100 Billion

[ByteDance founder] Zhang owns 20% of ByteDance, according to the company, though super shares have given him larger voting rights. Roughly 60% of ByteDance is owned by global institutional investors including Carlyle Group, General Atlantic and Susquehanna International Group. The remaining 20% is owned by company employees.

The CEO is Singaporean Shou Zi Chew and the VP is American Michael Beckerman.

@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Fair enough. I mistakenly took it as rhetorical. Definitionally both sides benefit from bilateral relations, but in the case of state actors that isn’t especially revealing on its own.

Notably the ban doesn’t kick in until after the election, after which it may not even be Biden’s problem. Maybe ByteDance will shut it down sooner. Maybe the next administration won’t follow through with the ban. 🤷

Real capitalism doesn’t have bailouts and central management and endless regulatory red tape that favors the rich corporate bosses.

That’s still just capitalism. The state has been captured by the bourgeoisie since its birth in the 1776 bourgeois revolution. The Founding Fathers formed a bourgeois democracy, otherwise known as a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The state has never represented the proletariat, and it was never supposed to.

Real capitialism is everyone fighting like cats and dogs to provide the best product at the lowest prices, which has not been happening in America since the days before Rockefeller and Standard Oil.

Firstly that is also just capitalism, and secondly, by the time Rockefeller became a robber baron it was already no longer that type of capitalism, but monopoly capitalism, which we still have today. This type of capitalism had been predicted by Marx and described in great detail by Lenin in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperialism%2C_the_Highest_Stage_of_Capitalism.

we live under a hardline socialist regime in the USA

So you don’t have even a basic understanding of capitalism or of socialism. Even Wikipedia isn’t this wrong.

Thus the capital of the poor continues to flow one direction, to the rich, and if the rich get into trouble, the government takes more capital from the poor to bail out the rich. That is socialism, not capitalism.

As long as the state serves the bourgeoisie, it is a capitalist state. A socialist state is when the state serves the proletariat. Communism is when it is a classless society. And sovereign fiat money doesn’t work that way. The government doesn’t get its money from the poor or from anyone else: it just creates it out of thin air. Why The Government Has Infinite Money
