    For sure, Russia is at the centre of the global contradiction between the west and the Global South, but we always have to remember that support for Russia should be strictly critical.

      Even with a critical lens, the idea of support doesn’t survive inspection. What Russia ideologically opposes, it just brings more to the world.

        What Russia is bringing to the world is the rise of multipolarity and the liberation of the global south from western oppression. There’s a reason why practically all the developing nations support Russia while it’s only white dominated global north that opposes it.

          Russia indeed accelerates polarisation by bringing their own oppression and abuse to the global south. A new slave owner is not a liberation. That kind of thought infantilizes the people who suffer from these different tyrannies. Russia, China, USA, Israel etc have all the same qualities. Fascists are still fascist despite their infighting. If one chooses to support any of those, one turns their back on actual people, workers, proletariat. Class traitorship.

              Who peddles? Do you actually believe in “whites”? As said, that infantilizing is a problem. That’s the thinking that the USA/Russia/China uses to “help the savages in the developing world” (yuck) as they see it while making them the slave class to prevent the call of “workers of the world unite”

                Maybe educate yourself on the history of western colonialism and what the west is doing to the global south today instead of making clown takes here.

                  Mayyybe you shouldn’t assume things and lose face with the hostilities

                  I’m not personally involved in the above. I don’t have a stake if you continue the choice to be anti-comrade. But when one does, there’s gonna be people commenting where they see that level of blatancy

                    If you live in the west then yeah you are personally involved in the above as you directly benefit from western colonialism which is what Russia and the Global South are fighting to break right as we speak. The only anti-comrade here is the one who claiming anything other is happening.
