@Yaminosenshi @Radical_EgoCom I do agree that Putin is basically a 21st century tzar, and I would like to remind that Bolsheviks didn't like tzars much.
And to the general point, are BRICS an asset for socialism? Possibly, partially, see above. Does this justify support for Russia in the Ukrainian war? Hell no. Russia happens to be, by pure chance, on the right side on the Israeli-Palestinian war, just because they oppose American imperialism.
In any case, I think we agree that the cartoon of BRICS punching America with a red arm with hammer and sickle painted on it does not really match reality much
