What is the point of this community, if we can’t have a discussion? I’ve been really disappointed with the ML stance on this war, and am not even allowed to publicly discuss my opinion in any existing ML community without my comment getting deleted.
This Rule : “No support nor defence of Ukraine, NATO or Western Imperialism” just encourages an echo chamber.
Really getting discouraged comrades. Do better.
Are you perhaps thinking that opposition to NATO is synonymous with support for Russia thus leading to this ‘echo chamber’ that you mentioned?
It seems to be the rule is fairly simple: we don’t want to see braindead pro-NATO posts and comments, or things like “I stand with Ukraine!” and other such things.
Marxists ought to have an understanding of the real complexity of the situation, and, through the combination of an anti-war, anti-imperialist, AND pro-socialist set of beliefs, critique and discuss from a more-or-less third perspective. As in not in favor of either side.
okay sorry, english is not my first language and i was just seeing a lot of support for Russia rather than just plain opposition to NATO. I also dislike the organization NATO, but do not think that being in opposition of it justifies what is happening in Ukraine
