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.

If we view Russia as trying to establish its sphere of influence in Ukraine as installing a pro-Russian leader, I could see Russia sweeping in to capture the natural resources. Wheat and oil would be the two biggest resources.
In other aspects, we might not view Russia as an imperialist power. But you can definitely argue that they fulfill some of Lenin’s description.
I agree that in some points it is imperialist. But then so is much of the world. This is why I prefer “semi-periphary.” Id say the Dominican Republic is semi-periphary in many ways, but to call it imperialist (or small imperialist, or regional imperialist) seems incorrect because it only fits with some of the points.
I get that. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the clarification.
