How can you pretend to espouse leftist ideas then comeback and defend Russia. The common factor between far right and tankies is they both effectively back authoritarianism. Russia is not a communist country. It's not a form of government to be admired.
If you really want to advocate for leftism, push ideals that work not countries as an example. As far as I count, it's still zero successful countries that didn't end up dystopian dictatorships.
Yes capitalism sucks without some socialism. Plenty of great examples of that.
