But if you throw everyone you disagree with into the liberal basket, you’ve taken the easy way out. Okay, but we’re not doing that. We’re not calling anarchists or other socialists liberals. We are however calling social democrats liberals, because welfare capitalism is still capitalism.

but I squint my eyes at Putin once I would be curious to know what exactly this entailed, because if past events are anything to go by it may have been a less than tactful approach.

The biggest struggle Marxist-Leninists have right now is often getting people to understand imperialism as a material process and stage in capitalism, rather than a whim of this or that state. That’s often why many of us react rather sharply when someone uses a clearly less developed understanding of imperialism and mechanically applies it to Russia. Most people are on board with socialism. Most people at the moment are not on board with truly understanding that existing socialist states are heavily propagandized against, and this applies doubly to non-socialist states that align themselves against the imperialist powers out of a sense of self-preservation, which includes Russia and Iran.

I give lip service about imperialism being bad but then support it anyway. It’s so frustrating when people compare me to others I agree with but don’t have the aesthetic I hope to project.
