    literally makes it a colony.

    No, it doesn’t. You just don’t understand colonialism. Without exploitation of labor and resources from an imperial core, there’s no colonialism. Please, read a book.

    “The others are lying, but it’s true in our case.”

    Im not talking about opinion, I’m talking about data. Look at any of the metrics I’ve already provided you, comparing the data between republics in the USSR, and look at data comparing colonial India with the UK. If you refuse to acknowledge empirical evidence that’s not my fault. Not all political systems are identical as proven by data.

      Sure, I’ll read a book. How about the dictionary?

      Sounds like a colony to me.
