Seeking to answer the question why so many self-professed anti-imperialists have supported totalitarian, fascist, theocratic and imperialist regimes, this book finds that in some cases, it is because they support Russian imperialism and have followed suit as Russia has moved to the far right, and in other cases they have failed to understand the importance of democracy and internationalism in the struggle against exploitation and oppression.
