The best way to oppose social imperialism is to enthusiastically support regular imperialism

This is especially silly if you consider that the USSR was helping other countries fight against colonialism, while the PRC both helped the premier imperialist force in the world to win in Afghanistan, and engaged in what could be argued to be imperialism against Vietnam.

By that logic, the USSR should have nuked the PRC the moment it took action against Vietnam to 'play both sides' and to fight against PRC's imperialism/'imperialism'.

Oh, I do recognise that, and I am very much in agreement with the message the sarcastic remark seems to have been meant to communicate.
