I’ll preface with saying that I’m only a random Communist. Please take what I say with a grain of salt, even if I come off as confident.

Regardless of your opinion on the war, it is not going to affect its course unless you go fight there, with a few exceptions.

Unless you live in Russia or Ukraine, your priorities should be:

  • pressuring your country’s government for non-interventionism, including sanctions. Capitalist States have only the interest of capital in mind, and their intervention will hurt the people further
  • fighting racism in your communities, especially the new wave of anti-Russian hate.

If you live in Poland or Romania, you should also be fighting the racism against non-Ukrainians (mostly foreign students) seeking refuge. Most of them just want to go home. The fact that the police are attacking them is extremely ridiculous.

    Not every country cares about liberal standards. And there is no single measure for “progress”, every country has the right to determine its own policies on different issues. Gringos cant tell Russians how they have to think “correctly” about gays.

      Nobody’s telling ordinary russians how they can think. We’re just pointing out that the Russian government is fascist, and that in the past two decades they have worked very closely with the orthodox patriarchs to bring back “the old order”.

      Or are you saying that a government banning queer propaganda and repressing its own people protesting these human rights abuses is justified?
