Nobody wants to admit to eating five cans of beans.

You think the Taiwan wants to keep slaves?

Imagine using twitter in 2026.

That island contains the true government of China and the CCP will do whatever they can to hold onto power so I don’t think they’ll be fine until one destroys the other.

I just want a straight up monitor with no built in wifi or Bluetooth or even speakers.

Just display the image I want it to when I want it to.

If I did it’s bad behavior too.

Nothing like body shaming people who don’t agree with your worldview.

Most people don’t understand vaccines and being afraid of what you don’t understand is completely reasonable.

When you have influencers feeding on that fear and making it grow then it becomes an issue.

I bedazzle my butthole then leave a couple interesting treats inside to keep their attention.

No shit.

They’re not that burnt I personally wouldn’t call them charcoal.

Damn that’s way better then what Soros is paying me.

Wow you’re high.

I don’t think they’d care.

Those weren’t my claims they were claims of yours I repeated because it proved my point that those claims proved it was an imperialistic state based on marxism’s definition of such.

I can see how that would get confusing though.

When did I say that?

I know you accused me of it but after reviewing our conversation I can confidently say I didn’t say that.

The definition I’m using is the commonly accepted one and language matters because how else are you supposed to communicate concepts?

Even if Russia barely fails to meet your strict standards of marxist imperialism calling Russia an imperialist state isn’t incorrect though because the common definition of imperialism is a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force which can hardly be argued that Russia isn’t actively doing both of those things.

The Marxist interpretation of imperialism says imperialism arises from the concentration of economic power in the hands of powerful monopolies and cartels within the capitalist nation which is pretty clear that it isn’t talking about monopolies on a global scale.

Being nationalist and deeply capitalist in an inwardly driven economy seems to fall squarely into the definition making Russia an imperialist state by the marxist definition.

If you’re changing the goalposts here from imperialism to the ‘marxist interpretation of imperialism’ would you disagree that a key characteristics of marxist imperialism is monopolistic capitalism, or that imperialism arises from the concentration of economic power in the hands of powerful monopolies and cartels within capitalist nation, which Russia’s oligarchs is a prime example of?
