Personally, I don't support either Ukraine or Russia, I see Ukraine as harboring nazis and they should answer for their crimes in the Donbas. However, when Russia invaded Ukraine I saw it as an imperialist invasion for Putin to conquer Ukraine. After He annexed the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, this became a very blatant imperialist invasion. Secondly, I found this post, which talks about the Russian capture of Bakhmut. I was suprised about the number of people who supported Russia. Am I wrong here for not supporting Russia? I would love to hear you opinions on this matter.

Are you using “full-fledged capitalism” in the sense of a deindustrialized, financialized version of capitalism like in the imperial core?

Yes, and furthermore: Russia will be unable to achieve a kind of capitalism capable of creating, on its own, positive growth. The capitalist economy there will always be parasitic on the old Soviet economic structure. Russia is capitalist, but in an atypical way. Its capitalism is the socialist economy in decay.

Makes sense. I can't predict the future but I'm inclined to agree that there's basically no chance of Russia (voluntarily) deindustrializing like the West
