'Western' imperialism (and there are a few) is just one among many. East, West, North and South, imperialism has been an extended 'practice' of the human race in history, with clear advantages and disadvantages, and only a 'negative' Eurocentric and irrationally tormented and stolid mind could be blind to it and become the dull fodder of Thirdworldist racist theories. Chinese, Japanese, Islamic, African, Indian, Mesoamerican and Inca Empires, to name but a few, have been as cruel or more than any Western Empire, with the difference that at least the rule of the West over extensive parts of the planet, has brought some standardisation, universal communication and 'democratisation' of rapid technological and institutional change, as well as the accelerated diffusion of 'Communist' ideals, ideology and organisations. The Russians themselves, in particular, are or rather 'were', the first ones to be very aware of the dangers of Oriental Imperialism and Despotism and its brutal disadvantages, as they were dangerously exposed to it throughout their history and forged their national consciousness in struggle against it. No one, in this world (except perhaps Spain), has fought more stubbornly to escape the claws of Oriental slavery than the Russians. So much so that even the Russian Revolution could be understood, and was understood by Lenin and the Bolsheviks and all revolutionaries, as a breakout from Oriental tyranny, underdevelopment and backwardness and as a UNION WITH THE WEST.
