'Russia is fascist, according to me!'

Fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia as a means of stabilizing capital at home and expanding its empire. The Russian Federation invaded Ukraine not with the intent of neocolonizing it or exploiting its (modest) resources, but as a last resort against the insatiable, creeping neoimperialism intent on eventually disintegrating Russia. They are not the same thing.

This is why I study Fascism. If the author were open to joining me, I’d invite them.
