Why are we speaking of Vladimir Putin, a multi-billionaire, wager of imperialist wars, and anti-communist, in such a good way? He is fundamentally just looking to enrich himself and other members of the Russian Bourgeoisie. Therefore, it is in his best interest to support Ba'athist Syria and Venezuela, not because he is "anti-imperialist", but because he knows that they can be useful tools aganist the United States of America, and also to secure oil supplies.

Furthermore, why are we defending the Russian Economy under Putin? We should, firstly, understand that economies are not based off single people, or in other words, the "great leader" view of history, secondly, why are we defending a capitalist economy? How about we start talking about how Adolf Hitler made the German arms industry grow? Afterall, Hitler did fight the USA, therefore, by the logic of how we write about Putin, Nazi-Germany must have been anti-imperialist!

To defend Putin is to defend the Bourgeoisie, and therefore Capitalism. Putin is not an "anti-imperialist", but rather, a rival-imperialist to the US-EU bloc.
