    Yep, they want to join and play second fiddle to the primary imperialists… UK, America, etc so they can also get in on the plunder and have the social safety nets they like also.

    Kind of like the Scandinavian countries.

      an entire country of people who thought they were gonna get western social democracy after their counterrevolution, and they STILL havent realized that the only reason the west had social democracy of any form was as a defense against communism

      they got duped but they’ll die before they admit it
