"Anyone who opposes being ruled by Moscow as a colony is a CIA stooge" seems to be completely standard tankie reasoning no matter how much theory they read.

Well come on, obviously every native population deserves their right for self determination, as long as it's along the Russian/Chinese interests. I just love being told whats best for my community by western leftists or Russian nationalists posing as communists.

Russia should be dissolved and made into smaller local states. Keep everything the size of Estonia and the area will be peaceful. Need the area to be dozens of smaller states the size of Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania.

I agree, all countries should be split up into smaller parts, with say 5-10 million people. Then they can have meaningful democracy and will be too few to want to start wars. Yeay.

There’s an argument that nation states dont even need to exist post-industrial revolution… but right now too small is too small.
