>full capitalism sucks, full socialism sucks, we need a mixture of the two systemsI remember Zizek's scared-shitless-lib prediction from around 2005 or so that the great statesman for whom statues will be built around the world will be Deng Xiaping, because his economic model will prove to be irresistible to developing nations. In any case, and Zizek aside,
>you will live to see Asia become the next socdem bloc after the fall of socdemism in ScandinaviaMeanwhile, at the imperialist economic conference:
>What are the G7 leaders discussing? Naturally, it is the accelerating Middle East crisis after the Israeli attack on Iran; the continued war in Ukraine and the need for more sanctions on Russia and arms for Ukraine; what to do about Trump’s trade tariffs; how to impose a range of cuts in international aid to poor countries by most G7 governments in order to make room for increased arms spending; and the need for a common policy against China.
>The main discussion for the Bilberberg participants is how to strangle economically, politically and militarily, China. As the American MAGA Republican Jason Smith put it: he was in Sweden to “continue fighting to combat the economic and national security threat China poses to our great nation”. Fellow Bilderberg attendee Robert Lighthizer, economic adviser close to Trump, echoed that sentiment: “China to me is an existential threat to the United States”.>>2342023Critical support for non-imperialist capitalist states. It's the only valid position while we still live under imperialism.
>b-but they are the next imperialistsIt will take like 90% of these countries represented at SPIEF 100 years to reach the level of development of G7 countries – that is if they are
allowed to develop. (Currently, they are not.)
Russia on verge of recession – minister<A downturn is not inevitable and would depend on policy decisions, Economic Development Minister Maksim Reshetnikov has said
>Russia’s economy is on the brink of entering a recession, Economic Development Minister Maksim Reshetnikov warned on Thursday.
>Since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Russia’s economy has operated under unprecedented Western sanctions aimed at isolating the country. Despite the restrictions, it has shown resilience, outperforming forecasts. GDP grew by 4.1% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, making Russia the world’s fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity (PPP), which adjusts for cost-of-living differences across countries.
>“The figures show a cooling, but all our data is essentially a rearview mirror,” Reshetnikov said during a panel at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2025). “Based on current business sentiment and indicators, we are, in my view, already on the brink of entering a recession.”
>The minister stressed that a recession was not a foregone conclusion, later telling reporters that whether it could be avoided would largely hinge on policy choices, particularly interest rate decisions.
>“I didn’t predict a recession. I said we’re on the brink. From here on out, everything will depend on our decisions,” he said.
>Finance Minister Anton Siluanov described the state of Russia’s economy as “cooling,” but assured that “summer always follows winter.”
>Central Bank Head Elvira Nabiullina characterized the current phase as an “exit from overheating.”
>“Our demand-side economy was expanding, while the supply side lagged behind — that’s what caused the overheating and inflation. It’s fairly straightforward,” she explained.
>Earlier this month, the Bank of Russia cut its key interest rate by 100 basis points to 20%, citing a slowdown in inflation. It marked the first rate reduction since 2022 when the central bank adopted a tight monetary policy to stabilize the economy amid a wave of Western sanctions.
>The central bank projects that Russia’s economic growth will slow to 1-2% in 2025, down from 4.1% in 2024, as a result of its monetary policy, while the government maintains a more optimistic outlook, expecting growth of 2.5% next year.https://swentr.site/business/619964-russia-economy-recession/ >>2342002Nice to know that imperialism = white countries carving up the world, whereas white AND asian countries carving up the world = humble gemeinschaft

>>2342159>Imperialism isn’t about race but economics Definitely not when MLs are discussing it 😂
>>2342169>Criticize them but also remember leftoid honkies in the West will be big mad if you do!I’m okay with that
>>2342064China is a DotP. Socdems cant into Dotp. China is not socdem.
thx for listening
>>2342219i have a scientific understanding of imperialism as opposed to 99% of this shithole whining because bourgeois states are acting in their self interest instead of forming the wholesome left anti imperialism alliance
great "marxism" going on here
>>2342224A bourgeois state is not automatically an imperialist state. Like 80% of bourgeois states aren't even imperialist.
>inb4Yeah, all those poor exploited Canadians working in Nigerian owned factories on Canadian soil!!!
>>2342223imperialism is not when war
imperialism is not when bourgeois state
thx for listening to Marxism101
>>2342236>>2342238>A bourgeois state is not automatically an imperialistLMFAO
goes to show its all run of the mill liberals here when they reduce imperialism to government programs
>>2342242imperialism is not when war
imperialism is not when bourgeois state
imperialism is not when government program
imperialism, however, is when a country's companies extract surplus value from the working classes of other countries through capital flight, becoming net benefactors from superprofits while the other countries remain impoverished due to not being able to take even a 'normal' capitalist developmental road
also, these imperialist states create bureaucratic, military, law enforcement, legal, political, banking, diplomatic infrastructures to ensure that their companies supplying their own markets with said surplus value can keep on going indefinitely
also, a country can be taking in surplus value from foreign workers in less developed countries through capital flight WHILE itself being in the same position faced with another country's superior capital
in such a case the question is if said country actually develops above said (army, diplomatic, banking, etc.) institutions in an attempt to secure itself a future imperialist position in the world production chain or not
protip: this is why china isn't imperialist
thx for listening to Marxism101
>>2342350>hurr you didn't read it because you criticized itJust because the majority of this shithole is illiterate doesn't make me one.
The whole thing is essentially condemned by his determination to find in imperialism a new ""stage"" of capitalism. But, good dialectician (lol) that he is, Lenin remains determined to deduce a change in quality (a new epoch of capitalism) from a change in quantity (size of capital, etc).
>>2342354>The whole thing is essentially condemned by his determination to find in imperialism a new ""stage"" of capitalism.It is demonstrably a new stage of capitalism, because it fundamentally alters how capitalist economies can develop, and compared to, let's call it, the 'classical stage' of capitalism as observed by Marx and Engels (although both realized capitalism and class war was already fundamentally changing within their lifetimes) the game has different rules.
The problem isn't that you criticize Lenin's conception, the problem is that you first offer no criticism and just call it wrong, then when confronted with the lack of your argument you offer us this bullshit about Lenin being bad at dialectics.
If we were living still under the same system with the same rules as did Marx and Engels the correct formula would still be 'sure, let Britain colonize India, at least they bring capitalism there', but we've since seen that that's not really what happens. What is created is a retarded model of capitalism with comprador bourgeoisie instead a national one, with a (globally speaking) sub-proletariat striving for national liberation instead of class struggle (for obvious fucking reasons), and a complacent labor aristocracy in the imperialist core.
But then again, I'm talking to a moron who thinks
