The USSR was not “totalitarian,” and it wasn’t imperialist. When people speak of the imperial “core,” we mean the US Empire and Western Europe, whose wealth comes from plundering the global south. The USSR was socialist and not at all imperialist, it was not an “imperial core.” Your defense of the imperial core based on their wealth ignores that it was gained through plunder.
Oh I see, you have nothing so you’re just coasting off of the same fairy tales that don’t actually day anything. God it must rule to be an anticommunist, you can just declare anything bad to be inexplicably communist and declare anything good to be Bad, Actually because something something freedom no iphone
Who is you people? I simply pointed out your framing of Europe as an independent entity from the mass immiseration it lead alongside the US for its own massive profit is arbitrary and dehuminising the pretty much the entire global south/periphery. Not to mind it being a bad start that leads to bad analysis and idiotic conclusions which I didn’t bother to mention last time.
Aren’t you people here also ignoring the misery people suffered only to look at the benefits of the core?
Are you implying that USSR were part of the core?
I think they’re implying that the RSFSR was a separate core and the rest of the republics were colonies
At the core of a system that claimed it’s socialist, but kept spiraling more and more into totalitarianism and oppression? Yeah.
