      I wouldn’t call Europe right-wing authoritarian nationalist regimes, even though they are dictatorships of the bourgeoisie, they are a different kind.

        I see Ukraine as a government that is run by a military state so weak that the country itself has as much power as a rock. However due to the shellings and murders of people in Donbass, Jewish and Romani people, I think they should be seen up as one of the worst as of right now.

        Ukraine is irrelevant, why would it be highlighted on a map of important countries? Perhaps if the map was top 7 most important Nazi harboring countries I guess.

      I just don’t view Japan as important from my perspective right now as those others. As I said, I limited myself to 7 only, I could have highlighted half that map if I was to go for all of them. I would like to hear your reasons as to why Japan is important and should be higher.

        The Japanese Empire colonized most of Asia and committed genocide after genocide in Asian nations, and after losing WW2, their modern government was still built off the policies and belief system of the Japanese Empire. Even after WW2, some of the main orchestrators of many conquests in Asia remained in their positions, some still acting as the President. Some staying in power decades after the fact. Just because they turned capitalist doesn’t mean that they were any less “authoritarian” and right-wing as before. With constant genocide denial and a push against their people from learning about the history of the crimes their country committed, it only makes sense that Japan is seen as one of the most right-wing nations of the modern world, even decades after WW2.

          As I said, it is by no means an exhaustive list, it is just my opinion on the most important ones.

        They have one of the biggest economys on the World, and even if they dont admitt it, their army is on the top 10 strongest armys in the world. They are objectivly the most powerfull US puppet poscession. And honestly a lot more important then fucking turkey.

    Really bad map, the right wing here in Brasil is pathetic and is on the verge of collapsing, hungary is a meme, anti-russia is cringe, turkey is not that relevant, isnt real is basically an US colony.

    And the map is lacking A LOT of countries: western europe, japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Australia, puppet goverments in Africa, and many others.

      I wouldn’t call Western Europe authoritarian right-wing nationalists yet. They are dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, but a different kind.

      As for Brasil, the government isn’t right-wing? So it is centrist then, hmmmm. Din’t know that, my bad.

      Hungary is a meme, but they right now create the instability inside the EU. Anti-Russia is cringe right now, but won’t be once the US falls, unless there is another revolution in it. Turkey being a US colony does not make it any better, even though I would not call it US colony.

      Yes, it misses a lot of countries, it is just a subjective map.

        The goverment in Brasil is right wing, but they are so pathetic, disorganised, dumb, etc, that i dont give them a lot of credit. Israel is an US colony, not Turkey, and the only reason they still exist is because of the US, so if the US cuts the funds out of despair, Israel will eventually colapse. Hungary creating instability on the EU wouldnt be good for us? The EU sucks, is basically an way of the US to manipulate most of western europe, and i doubt Hungary will be the biggest factor on the eventual EU colapse. France, Germany, Uk, and some other important countries there are a lot more opressive then Russia, specially when its about protests. And why turkey? I know the president is an NATO simp asshole, but turkey as a whole is not as relevant as most balkan countries.

          Brasil will always be important because it is huge, by far the largest in South America.

          Israel is an US colony, not Turkey, and the only reason they still exist is because of the US, so if the US cuts the funds out of despair, Israel will eventually colapse.

          Absolutely, I agree with you. Sorry about the Turkey thing, I didn’t get the Israel Isn’treal joke. For Turkey they will be important because the Sea and they are large and want their stake in the Middle East. I think their stake is more important that Saudi Arabian, that is why Turkey is highlighted instead of them. As for Isn’treal, they are nuclear power in the Middle East and also the only non-Arabs that are important geopolitically and also they are American bastion, the largest importer of American foreign military aid, so they are mega important in my opinion.

          Hungary creating instability on the EU wouldnt be good for us?

          Absolutely is, which is why it is highlighted. The map says important, not like not bad for us or something.

      The use of authoritarian here means non democratic in the sense of true democracies such as PRC, DPRK, Cuba, etc.

        So, basically whatever is not playing for the gain of the US?.. Don’t you see a problem there, that you put them as “authoritarian” while this therm has NO REAL meaning in politics?

    I have limited myself to 7 only. I obviously live in Europe.

    EDIT: I have definitely missed Egypt. Should have gone with 8.
