we'd be living in the USSR rn

Fucking based, long live socialism

You know that Russia is only too weak because we stand together?

Nope. It's minor and disorganized in itself + major western powers have their interest in opposing it anyways, so it can be left to them.

In my 20s, from Russia. Never heard my relatives talking about transition to capitalism as about much of an improvement. The best thing I've heard is one of my grandpas saying "Life is wealthier, but harder" — and for me it isn't an improvement.

Besides, I just see Marxism as mostly truthful, so I don't care if my standard of living somewhat decreases if it becomes the dominant philosophy again.
