The feel good map of the world. :)

How can you think Russia is a 'feel good' place in any way? It's a genocidal dictatorship with basically no regard for the lives of it's own citizens that is actively murdering a countries worth of people for oil. I get being anti capitalist, but I definitely would not call Russia anti capitalist. Maybe at one point they claimed to be communist, but I certainly don't see any of those ideals in their current government.

Theres a lot I disagree with in there but I'll point out the one that is most fundamentally wrong. Nobody said Russia is anti-capitalist, not the person you responded to, not the original comment, not even the post, nor does anyone on this site. Anti-Imperialism is the primary reason we support Russia, they pose a legitimate opposition to US hegemony and any nation that pivots away from the US/Western imperialist bloc towards Russia is a net positive in the struggle against imperialism.
