The tendency to consider the relationship of the Soviet Union to the third world as ‘globally positive’ by a section of socialist opinion is often related to the Leninist understanding of imperialism as being basically linked to the export of capital. As the USSR is considered to be a non-capital exporter, the argumentation follows that there is little call for viewing Soviet-third-world relations with suspicion.
