    “I’m against the US imperialism.”

    “So you are against imperialism?”

    “No, it’s just another kind of imperialism.”

      No no, They are against imperialism. Your example isn’t valid because that’s not imperialism, that’s just spreading the socialist revolution, which requires military “support” because it is the only way to remove the imperialist and decolonise a nation.

      No no, stationing the socialist revolutionary guard in said country isn’t imperialism because it’s under the flag of socialism, don’t you see the difference?

      Brought to you by the cognitive dissonance of Marxist.

        True, it’s not their fault that they inherited an empire. Liberating Siberia would be nonsensical after the revolution which was a liberation. An independent Siberia (or several independent Siberian states) would be less free since all states are evil so why not keep the worst one.
