I am referring to the Maoist concept of social imperialism of the USSR, which I tend to agree with.

I am not talking about capitalist financial imperialism, this allegation being well refuted by Castro:

How could the Soviet Union be classified as imperialist? Where are its monopolist enterprises? What is its participation in multinational companies? What industries, what mines, what petroleum deposits does it own in the underdeveloped world? What worker is exploited in any country of Asia, Africa or Latin America by Soviet capital? The economic cooperation which the Soviet Union is offering Cuba and many other countries did not come from the sweat and the sacrifice of exploited workers of other peoples, but from the sweat and effort of Soviet workers

Edit: Castro's refutation is also a great explanation, of why I would classify today's PRC as regularly imperialist, even if not to the degree of the USA/EU etc.

Nobody said that, nice try fishing for strawmen though LMAO

Your submission in "Protect your mental health from capitalistic thought as much as possible" was removed since it's not a meme.

Just wanted to say: keep up the goated work, like in this thread in general

Then I'm glad you got spared the headaches

It's pretty obviously social imperialism and not relations on equal footing IMO

Also just an FYI that the non-revisionist internationalist socialist position is one of not supporting either side in an inter-imperialist war (read: a conventional one between two capitalist governments, not an anti-colonial one e.g.) and if viable go for revolutionary defeatism in ones home country

Every proper socialist hates bourgeois "democracies" lmao

Any leftist and every sane person says "Amerikkka bad"

It's the worst thing to happen to humanity in the second half of the 20th century and beyond

That is by far not a universal definition anymore and not at all how it is used on the internet by a lot of people 😑

E.g.: Liberals often use it to refer to anyone revolutionary, from anarchists to Maoists...

It's a loaded and really unclear term nowadays and could even be interpreted as whistleblowing

Edit: Hence my question, because this could have been a rule 1 deletion and/or a temp ban e.g.
