Imperialism is defined as the monopoly stage of finance capital.

Russian economy is dominated by the state and oligarchs, not by independent finance capital. It’s territorial expansion while being an regional historical imperialist action is defensive and self limiting and driven mostly by nationalism and security concerns.

Your list provides critical empirical evidence for a dialectical analysis but requires contextualization to avoid oversimplification. See response from comrade @cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml

The burden of proof is in you. Make a claim

What’s to refute when you said nothing?

The down votes are because you didn’t engage with the content and posted a reddit tier bot comment

Ok thank you for your warning that RT is a Russian propaganda outlet. It’s greatly appreciated as no one on this instance knows.

It is known that as an unaffiliated independent youre immune to propaganda. It’s very noble of you to warn us.

Yes it’s actually very intelligent to consider only one viewpoint as propaganda and not all. How’s the echo chamber?

It’s crazy how predictable the lib crowd is.

It’s like they’re all the same person because they all parrot NATO propaganda and try to silence anyone who challenges them, even in the small insignificant online spaces they have.

Holy crap… look at how those libs use words but say nothing.

RT is an information source like other outlets. If the poster doesn’t know that all news are essentially propaganda their comments aren’t serious.

Lib Warning!

Imagine being so propagandized to leave a comment like that

Classic crypto fascist comment. Post hog

Like the entire SMO that NATO has trouble thwarting?

I left my imperial echo chamber and my western brainpan cannot comprehend other narratives

Ah so you’re fine with armored police vehicles as long as they’re not called tanks… alright

Every single state on this planet has a (police) force that is used on its own people.
