It's so goofy that they support modern Russia, a right wing empire that backs fascists worldwide. I get not liking the US or the liberal world order, but Russia trying to build a competing empire is not anti-imperialist. You can't solve imperialism with imperialism. It's like trying to solve capitalism's problems with capitalist solutions.
There isn't even plausible deniability like with the USSR. It's an explicitly ethnocentric government of blood and soil rhetoric π
It's insane. Defending Putin's actions even against Putin's own words.
