    The Soviet union literally occupied parts of central and eastern europe?

    Weird way to describe liberation from maxi Germany this way.
    Ah, wait, you bemoan the fact that those countries were not allowed to plunder Africa and Asia, don’t you?

    They crushed uprisings in Hungray and Czechoslovakia

    Suppressing NATO-backed nazis is good, actually. Not sure what you disagree with.

    That’s some pretty colonial stances.

    No, those are not. None of those things were enforcing relations of severely unequal exchange.

    Their funding for anti-colonial movements was really just anti-western colonialism

    In what way was that colonialism when those actions actually had a decolonising effect?
