    “higher economic prosperity” in the global north is because of imperialism.

    The Soviet Union was just as imperialist as the Russian Empire it inherited. They ruled puppet states across half of Europe on top of that.

      No, it was not. It did not export capital, nor was it under the control of finance capital. The Soviet Union wasn’t imperialist. Again, you’re deeply unserious, have no idea what you’re talking about, and are a genocide-denying Zionist sycophant for the IOF.

        I like how they completely skipped over the genocide denial part lol. Even if they did address it, there’s not much excuse to justify genocide denial lmao

          Yep, if you check their history it’s filled with pro-IOF hasbara, I even think they’re debating in other threads today on if Israel is commiting genocide or not.

            I know lol, I saw their comments a few months ago and just tagged them as a zionist. Liberal mental gymnastics never cease to amaze me, defending a literal proven genocide 🫠

              Absolutely. Not only was it genocide pre-October 7th, but now it has ramped up to spiking sugar with narcotics, opening fire on Palestinians running for aid, and so much more. Fuck anyone trying to play cover for the IOF.

        The Soviet Union wasn’t imperialist

        They just loved oppressing worker’s revolts like in the GDR and CSSR and invading Afghanistan. Totally not imperialist. Russification of Siberia and Ukraine totally not Imperialist. Deportations and ethnic cleansing of millions, must be anti imperialism. A war against communist China to conquer outer Mongolia? Just a friendly visit of working class solidarity.

          Gotta love gish gallop, a dash of outright lies, a good deal of completely inventing a new definition of Imperialism, and a large heaping of ignoring that you’re a genocide enthusiast that bats for the IOF for free, and thus isn’t worth taking seriously.
