The EU is a coaliton of right-wing imperialist states, this is true.
Not really all right wing but perhaps compared to your politics. Or mine tbh
Russia isn't imperialist
I'm confused about this. I checked to see if I had the right definition, just in case, and this is wikipedia's:
imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power.
How does this not perfectly describe what Russia is doing in Ukraine?
Do you have an alternative definition you're working with?
I see where you're coming from now. I think if you define imperialism in that way, it makes sense that you would consider all of those countries imperialist.
But this whole description seems weird to me. Are there any powerful capitalist countries that could avoid this?
And I still don't think Russia could possibly escape this definition. They have BRICS and are a major oil trader. They physically are trying to occupy another country right now. They use Russian language and state media to influence Eastern European countries in particular.
