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.
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.
