What is the positive outcome of defending an authoritarian regime like Putin’s? I don’t see how that advances socialist goals in any way. I am learning that Zelenskyy and Ukraine are not as good as Western media describes, but I do not see how Putin is better. I’m interested in being part of Lemmygrad.ml, but not if it defends authoritarian regimes especially if they are not working towards socialism/communism. I want to work towards socialist goals, but I do not want to be used as a tool in some authoritarian geopolitical mess. Russia also gives me the impression of being colonialist but I’m not sure if that’s accurate

1-Russia finds itself in a position where they must fight imperialism to prosper and perhaps even just to survive

2-As communist imperialism is the primary thing we must fight and destroy to achieve our goals

Therefore Russia's goals and our own align and we critically support Russia.

I do think some people here sometimes get lost in the sauce and forget that the Russian government is not only capitalist but staunchly and openly anti-communist and generally pretty shitty, but most people recognize them for the temporary allies they are. Also Russia is not imperialist not in any meaningful way, u probably get the impression that they are because they would certainly like to be, all capitalist want to be imperialist it is the only logical progression for them, but as things are Russia does not control the organizations and institutions that make up the global imperialist system rather Russia is subject to them.
