    If Russian Imperialism not existing would make that much of a difference, then just imagine how the world would be if Western Imperialism didn’t exist.

      Yeah; like Russia has been effectively preventing Europe from developing this whole time.

      They developed not just in peace, but in power and they squandered all that protecting wealth and preventing their people from having a life unfamiliar to poverty and precarity.

      Again. China is doing god damned great. The fuck is the US’s excuse? Where’s my trans continental hyper train; Uncle Sam? Where is it you dead beat worthless dog?!

        Forget about a trans-continental high speed train, my local city couldn’t even maintain a citywide trolley system it used to have back in the 1950’s.

          Same in mine! The map of our current LRT and the streetcar system is incredibly depressing. The streecars went everywhere; the LRT is, essentially, a straight line from North to South.

        Are you talking about USSR or any other period of Russian history?

          Im talking about the west. For all their dominance and colonialism; they have very little to show for it but unhappy legions of the working class.
