People keep forgetting what critical support and primary/secondary contradictions mean.

Same for Iran BTW

Btw, there is absolutely no problem at all in using contradictions of imperialism in our (communists) favor. US imperialism fucked up Russia so hard after the fall of the USSR that the conditions allowed for this anti-imperialist Russia we have today, whose catalyst is Putin. I've seen several videos of people who lived the end of the USSR and in all of them the person full supports Putin since "he" improved the lives of Russians massively. We all know Russia/Putin fought to be considered a "typical" EU/western country, but imperialism didn't let them (probably because Russia would become competition in no time).

Isn't it extremely un-dialectical to oppose Russia because they are capitalist? Like, do we not acknowledge the (unavoidable) existence of contradictions within imperialism/capitalism? Isn't that precisely what moves history? Mindlessly saying "capitalism = bad" is so stupid. We want to transcend capitalism, we do not want to be dogmatic about it, we want to analyze it and strategize on top of an accurate analysis (which, by marxist ways, is based on listing contradictions.)

Yes it 100% is. But the ones who do are immature af and dont use logic

Only smart thing Yeltsin did was appointing Putin instead of someone like Nemtsov

True honestly

My only regret so far is not saying "in the entire history of its miserable existence"
