I think it’s important to understand that Marxist-Leninists should be supporting the people of both countries, rather than picking one of two capitalist states to back. I understand that Russia has its excuses for doing this, and the Ukraine government has its excuses for what it has done, but it’s important to remember that they are both capitalist countries in the age of imperialism; what they are really after is power. Please feel free to correct me if you believe I got anything wrong.

    Nazism is an existential threat. Russia might not be ‘good’ but I don’t really give a shit. We can whine about how bad Putin is when he’s done Mulching those fucking fascist freaks.

      I agree with you, and I do think the invasion is a net positive, I just think we should be cautious about placing any trust in these countries and about their intentions

          I don’t really thinks it’s a good idea to get caught up in idealist analysis regarding who is “good” and who is “bad”.

          The American Empire must be destroyed - that’s the reality.

          “Good” and “Bad” only exist as far as the dominant hegemon’s definitions in that very moment; so really, I don’t see any “good” guys; just a whole lot of dead nazis, and a whole lot of brutally-inconvenienced and in-the-crossfire working folks.

          Motherfuck America and all its interests, though; and that counts the little cockgoblins who were play-acting “government” in Kiev til they all fled.

      I fail to believe any of the educated MLs here genuinely and fully believe that Putin’s honest intentions are de-nazification. We can speak honestly here.

      Anyone who claims to understand what Putin’s motivations are for this action at this time is analyzing immaterially.

      In other words, that’s “cringe”.

        I’m just saying that I don’t care what Putins honest intentions are. Nazis are dying and that’s sweet as hell. Any other discussion comes secondary to that.

          We can enjoy the good bits, but the situation is a wildfire which has already claimed tens of thousands of lives, and probably won’t be put out for years (as it started many years ago). US hegemony is facing a challenge it hasn’t seen in decades (real coolzone shit), and as materialists, it is important for us to understand the transformations which are taking place. At the same time, we cannot forget that revolutionary defeatists holding the Leninist line are among the most persecuted groups within both Russia and Ukraine, and that both states are responsible for systematic revanchist oppression of social and ethnic minorities.
