Transnistria maybe?

Translation: My grandmother agrees with you

Culturally yes, economically no

Depends on what you mean?

Against cultural progressivism? Sure

Against U.S and its reactionary regimes (eg. Poland)? Not so much, but more as a balancing force against them

I liked this article a lot, found it rather enlightening.

https://www.scienceopen.com/hosted-document?doi=10.13169/worlrevipoliecon.11.4.0428 Admittedly I haven’t read this whole thing, but I’ve been meaning to get around to reading the rest. From what I remember these Chinese economists said Belarus is mostly a type of Market Socialism

Yeah...initially I had a lot of hope, I thought maybe he had changed from the last time he made the mistake with Haiti, but I was wrong. Strange that he'd jump on this opportunity twice. Also, a lot of indigenous people still are left without justice against multinationals and abuse of their lands, it's really disheartening how much inaction is taking place. I know that MST critically supported Lula, but I wonder what their stance is nowadays..

I will never stray from the fact that Russia has been instrumental in supporting people around the world, but also recognizing that Russia is a reactionary state, which if given the same status as the United States would engage in all the very same tactics. I know people are quick to dismiss the KPRF as "controlled opposition" that is "joined at the hip" with United Russia, but in my opinion it's a counter balance that appeals to Soviet era demographics, and it does its job well, and by no means are they "non-radical" in the sense they absolutely risk strikes and organizing people even if it gets them thrown in jail. Yet despite all this, the KPRF recognizes too, the self-determination of Donbass, and has written very good analysis on the subject over the years, recognizing the absolute need of the military operation in the region. I do not personally believe that United Russia wholeheartedly supports this operation from a ground of moral conscience, but I do not also believe that they are innately engaging for economic reasons as one would for a capitalist state. I also hold the belief that out of all post-soviet countries, Russia holds one of the highest potentials for another mass communist movement organized from below, which would almost certainly reform many of the "bad" elements found within the KPRF (some of the more chauvinist points in their programme for example), especially with Russia weakening the chains of the neoliberal crisis, the revival of productive forces due to self reliance from sanctions and pressure, and finally, from the aggression by Kiev's fascist regime against history and peoples of the USSR, will ultimately only drive people further in to finding the historical links between anti-fascism and communism.

Hey comrade, mind detailing what the situation in Basque is? It's hard trying to find information about it. Same with Catalonia

It's one: the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR, known as Sahrawi Republic or more commonly Western Sahara for short)

they mean the Sahrawi Arabic Democratic Republic 🇪🇭 , A country currently being annexed by Morocco

Agreed, emphasize the “critical.” Here’s a good essay on the Taliban: https://annebonnypirate.org/2021/08/17/afghanistan-the-end-of-the-occupation/
