Why are we speaking of Vladimir Putin, a [https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/presidents/vladimir-putin-net-worth/ multi-billionaire], wager of [[2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict|imperialist wars]], and [[Anti-communism|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 [[Syrian Arab Republic|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. | Why are we speaking of Vladimir Putin, a [https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/presidents/vladimir-putin-net-worth/ multi-billionaire], wager of [[2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict|imperialist wars]], and [[Anti-communism|anti-communist]], in such a good way?

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 [[Greater German Reich|German]] arms industry grow? Afterall, Hitler did fight the USA, therefore, by the logic of how we write about Putin, Nazi-Germany have been anti-imperialist! | Furthermore, why are we defending the Russian Economy under Putin?

To defend Putin is to defend the [[Bourgeoisie]], and therefore [[Capitalism]]. Putin is not an "anti-imperialist", but rather, a rival-imperialist to the [[United States of America|US]]-[[European Union|EU]] bloc. | To defend Putin is to defend the [[Bourgeoisie]], and therefore [[Capitalism]].
