    This is not something to be enjoyed. First of all, those who truly are responsible for the war, the government, and its crimes sit - very much alive - in comfortable armchairs in a warm palace in London or Washington, and even if they actually froze to death in Kiev, this is still not the way these criminals ought to die. On the contrary, if Nazis, capitalists, arms manufacturers and dealers, instigators, warlords, wanton murderers, if the scum of the entire world froze to death in this city, then this would make it impossible for anyone to put them on trial and hold them accountable for their crimes. Of course it would be convenient for us if they could do everyone a favour and die, but it is absurd to conceive of what happens to them during their exposure to the elements as a just punishment, let alone “beauty”, because such a death is merely accidental, instead of being mandated in the authority of the peoples of the world.

      If we’re to acknowledge that Ukraine is a fascist vassal state of imperialism then it should be acknowledged that the general civilian populace has very little to no active say in their government or the fascists who have enjoyed elevation and endorsement.

      Sure, a significant portion of the population likely supports it, else it wouldnt be the problem it is. But fascist regimes don’t need a majority of the population to take a country hostage. Historically, it needs around 20%-30% of the populations support (Germany in 32’ the Nazis only has about 30% popular support. Trumpism in the US consistently enjoys about 35%. Girlboss Mussolini was recently elected with only 26% support.)

      Communists shouln’t cheer for the suffering of the working-class. In Ukraine the working class is being punished from all angles.
