I am not sure what you are on about. I am anti authoritarian. I have no issue calling it out when the US does it. Rather than you who seem more interested in picking the Russian Empire’s flavor.
oh, youre of that sort, understood. in that case i just wonder why you associate putin with the republicans in particular.
also, current day russia is not an empire, as its capitalist economy hasnt yet reached the stage that makes imperialism possible and necessary. the current russian state, while right wing, is currently worthy of critical support due to being a beacon of resistance against the neocolonial west which is the main enemy of human development. please read vladimir lenins imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism and kwame nkrumahs neocolonialism, the last stage of imperialism
How exactly am I trying to excuse or deny the Holocaust? Are you suggesting that Russia and Israel bullying their smaller neighbor is not authoritarian? Are you suggesting Russia does not treat Central Asian nations the way the US treats those in Latin America? Bullying those around you is wrong no matter what party you are.
I would look to historians like Dovid Katz and search for “double genocide theory”, I would not like to make this an argument.
Please change your language when posting in the comm. “Authoritarian” and “totalitarian” are not useful descriptors and are historically connected to trying to equate the USSR and nazi Germany in order to do holocaust trivialization.
as opposed to everybody elses putin
Could be GOP’s Putin. In this case they also happen to be the same person.
looks like americans are still delusional enough to believe in the russiagate conspiracy theory…
Current Russia and GOP are both authoritarians. Of course they would want to co-operate.
“authoritarianism”, is an absolutely useless term invented by liberals. is the us-sponsored genocide in palestine not “authoritarian”?
Fuck yeah it is, what kind of question is that?
then why dont you claim that the biden admin is pro russian? lmao

Yo, define authoritarian in a way that doesn’t include western bourgeois democracies or find a different word
The whole “authoritarian” nonsense has its roots in holocaust trivialization attempts in countries that collaborated with the nazis.

So what descriptors are useful?
What are you trying to describe?
