Be very of these false narratives which seek to bend the framework of reality towards a position in accord with the US Empire.
This is not “a conflict between two bourgeois countries”. This is an abstract, undialectical analysis.
It is adapting the framework of Western Imperialists.
This is a complex conflict decades in the making, at it’s core, it is a war between Russia and the Blood Empire.
The Ukrainian people are being used as a weapon by their bloodthirsty American masters.
I hope people here see how deceptive and devious this “both sides bad capitalists” narrative is.
It is poisonous to us communist communities, and it shows that western propaganda is very much able to spread on GenZedong.
Do not allow them to infiltrate our minds.

The center of the meaning is having 800 foreign military bases? Just whose definition are you using here buddy?
It’s remarkable that you’d flatten out any materialist analysis of the EU in favor of the terminally-online debatebro take that the EU is simply a part of the American Empire.
Given that there are well over 200 US military bases in the EU and “the EU is a part of the American Empire” then does that mean that the US doesn’t actually reach that magical 800+ number of foreign military bases, thus meaning that the US isn’t imperialist by your measure?
The fact that you can’t actually respond to the content of my question any more than you can help yourself from soapboxing shows more about your perspective than a question, which is intended to highlight the absurdity in your own position and to see if you are capable of addressing the contradictions in your own muddled thinking, does.
Yours is a grim parody of dialectical materialism; I’d call it vulgar DiaMat but that would be too charitable since it’s neither dialectical nor materialist.
I was making clear the real material difference between the realities.
Unlike you, I am not making an abstraction using the definition and then applying it universally across realities inside and outside of the American Empire.
Because I’m not an anarchist, like you.
The “reality” is that:
Imperialism must be global before it’s imperialism
Imperialism is about about many military bases you have internationally
If you have been a subject of imperialism, you cannot be imperialist yourself
Imperialism is a synonym for being a global hegemon
The EU has absolutely zero internal political economy or contradictions that distinguish it from the US; it’s literally just an extension of the US
Anyone who doesn’t immediately agree with everything you say is an anarchist
You’re a real winner, aren’t you?
People are down voting you, but you’re entirely right. Its not like we are saying that Russia must be fought against, we support it critically. This is the critical part of critical support.
