        It means they’re a Tom to western interests, but they still want to put on a show of radical aesthetic

      The worst is the mod going full power-mode and ban me even though the community downvoted them to hell, because they couldn’t respond my last message “Tell me on which side the Ukranian communists are, come on, if you care so much about the workers in Ukraine”

          Oh, they banned pretty much every left wing party.

          Even the EU has communist parties (and fascist, sadly)

          I’m Belgian and our communist party gets 13,5% of the vote in Brussels and Wallonia (5,5% in Flanders; sadly the fascist party got 18,50%, making them the second largest party in Flanders. They don’t run in Brussels and Wallonia though as they hate not just brown people but also native French speakers)

          The Belgian Communist Part (PVDA/PTB) has been growing since 2008. Lots of people in government. The reason he pulled that off was because a program called ‘Doctors of the People’, basically free doctors for poor people.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers'_Party_of_Belgium

          It was founded by Ludo Martens, who wrote the book “Another View on Stalin”

            Actually, they banned pro-Russian parties, like the Opposition Bloc (which is certainly not left) It just so happens that all left-parties are pro-Russia, what a strange coincidence (and well, the communists party of Ukriane was banned long ago, de jure in 2015, though de facto much earlier with their anti-communists persecutions)

    Lol yeah let’s just sit out and let NATO conquer every country that isn’t explicitly socialist until it’s just China and handful of others left standing because it’s not “a working class battle”. Fucking Idiots, and that’s not even considering that Russia is at least fighting literal nazis.

      This. It’s astounding that many of the same people who support Iran and Syria for anti-imperialist reasons balk at giving even the most critical support to Russia. What’s the rationale? That Russia is actually powerful enough to stomp the Nazis, and so posting Russian flags on Twitter doesn’t let us feel like the underdog?

      I swear, some of these Western “Marxists” would have advocated for “revolutionary defeatism” during World War II.

      Looks like the mods there are starting to purge all communists that aren’t pro-ukraine. So unless half the mod team bans itself, its going to be all dronies soon.

      During the red scares, nearly all labor and “soft left” orgs, willing purged themselves of communists… not just in the US, but all over the world. Really sad that solidarity goes out the window as soon as the US picks a target.

    in the current climate, nearly everything that hurts the western hegemony is a good step forward. i can say a lot of bad things about russia and their regime, but their stance against the west and the concept of intellectual property are to be applauded. putin wont rule forever, the but the populace has the right idea and it warms my heart to see.

    ukraine is just a small part of what is going on. there is a much bigger war with bigger stakes going in the background. a war beyond the tragedy that is occuring right now. i would hope that out of all people, leftist can understand this.

      It’s pretty funny how the US’s insistence on unipolar global dominance caused Russia to be anti-imperialist by virtue of standing up for their own sovereignty. They’re not even opposing the US for ideological reasons anymore but Russia’s finding itself in the same position as the USSR anyway.
