      Oh, and what is then exactly the Cold War and McCarthyism? What is Russophobia and Sinophobia? What is the hatred for black/brown/non-Caucasian immigrants in white countries?

      It’s precisely the result of demonizing nazism without analyzing/deconstructing its narratives and modes of operation. This is why to this day in Europe many people who would spit on a swastika can hold proto-nazi discourse without even realizing it. Antifascism is not a moral position, it’s a struggle for emancipation. Only the liberals play the moralizing game because it makes them feel good about themselves while discounting their own mechanisms of oppression.

      Calling Russia empire/colonialist/imperialist is (…) an attempt to whitewash Anglo-Saxon doings by omission of argument

      Feel free to check out my post history. I don’t exactly hide my hatred for western empires either. On the other hand, you seem very misinformed about the imperialist history of Russia (both monarchist and bolshevik). I strongly recommend you do some reading on racism and cultural supremacy in ex-USSR territories.
