It would be for the survival of their way of life.
The Communist aren't going to just surrender.

If Russia wants to survive, the last thing they would want is a war with NATO, which is one country against seven well armed and equipped with superior weapons and intelligence? They neither have the arms nor the money to support such an adventure and Putin is too smart for that.
But he did invade Ukraine and is still bogged down there, so perhaps not very smart indeed. Actually he miscalculated Ukrainian resistance badly and is paying the price.

Communist???
Russia practices Crony Capitalism.
The dispute between the West and Russia is essentially between pro Russian oligarchs and pro Western oligarchs.

The best thing for the survival of their way of life is to stop fucking around with other countries and take care of their own house.

They own the most real estate of any country in the world.
I know a lot of it is frozen but it seems like they should be able to take advantage of that somehow, rather than taking land from other countries

The land they want produces grain and has access to deep water leading to markets.

This is all about Putin feeling that Russia was humiliated by the collapse of the USSR and his insistence that Russia is a great empire and feared world power, notwithstanding the fact that their its economy is a corrupt basket case producing nearly no value-added products other than second rate weapons for Third World customers.

Not communist, autocratic authoritarian fascism. A difference with a distinction tho one can serve the other.

Touche.
When did pure Communism end ? When Stalin executed Trotsky ?
Engles wrote the manifesto under Marx's heavy influence. He (Engles) had no intent for it to become the ultimate con job. It sounds benevolent, just like our own declaration of independence.
The Political Zionists rose to power in parallel with Marxism. What a strange coincidence. It's all about the money, and control.

Ii can think of no reason to call that correlation in time "strange."
Pure communism has never existed except in tiny communal groups. Even nominal communism ended in Russia with the fall of the USSR.
