Racism and nationalism thrive in capitalism. I don’t know if those are more prevalent in Russia than France or Canada. Almost all Western people I know think Western culture is superior and that all countries in the world should Westernise. That’s a very racist and imperialist view. It assumes that developing countries cannot develop and become progressive without Western influence. While the opposite is true, Western governments and corporations destabilise developing countries to exploit their resources and labour, which makes social progress really difficult. Also many of the conservative beliefs in developing countries where forced upon them by Western colonisers. Western people still tend to think people in developing countries are way less progressive than they actually are.
The Russians I have met were sometimes nationalistic, but none believed that they should conquer the world to rid it of ‘barbarism’ brought on by their own actions.
The fuck you talking about? Older Chinese people are the MOST racist people I know. This has nothing to do with Capitalism. It is the lack of culture. If you have a homogeneous culture, this breeds racism and nationalism/tribalism. It has nothing to do with Capitalism.
Capitalism is exploitation. To prevent workers from fighting the ruling class for better conditions, the ruling class has to divert workers frustration towards other working class people from other countries or other ethnicities.

This is so funny to read while being Russian, so much bullshit.

Yo, no doubt that capitalism is exploitative. But it’s a STRETCH to say that it breeds racism.
