Why do NUPES/Die Linke parties that hate the US for being a hypercapitalist imperalist power without government-run healthcare like Russia, a hypercapitalist imperialist power without government-run healthcare?
Describing Russia as hypercapitalist is an absurdly stupid statement.

Russia is undoubtedly imperialist, but it is not “hyper capitalist” (which is a dumb term to use to begin with, but certainly not true of Russia), and it does have government run healthcare. As does the United States, incidentally.
55% of Russian wealth is controlled by the top 1%. 85% is controlled by the top 10%.
I was not aware that the definition of capitalism is "% of 'wealth controlled' by the 1%." By this standard, I guess Maoist China and Bourbon France were both "hypercapitalist" too. Thank you very much for this thoughtful analysis. You do real credit to us all with your presence.
