Be very of these false narratives which seek to bend the framework of reality towards a position in accord with the US Empire.

This is not “a conflict between two bourgeois countries”. This is an abstract, undialectical analysis.

It is adapting the framework of Western Imperialists.

This is a complex conflict decades in the making, at it’s core, it is a war between Russia and the Blood Empire.

The Ukrainian people are being used as a weapon by their bloodthirsty American masters.

I hope people here see how deceptive and devious this “both sides bad capitalists” narrative is.

It is poisonous to us communist communities, and it shows that western propaganda is very much able to spread on GenZedong.

Do not allow them to infiltrate our minds.

Godspeed comrades. o7

    I agree. They dont know what imperialism is. Projecting power in other countries isnt imperialism. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, its global monopoly capitalism, its the wholesale export of capital from the global north to the global south. Russia hasnt reached that stage yet, nor will reach it anytime soon, due to being unable to compete with the much stronger and much more developed US/EU imperialism.

        That’s not how meaning works. You are engaging in abstract universalism, the same abstract universalism that white anarchists use to call China fascist.

        Look, imperialism is when US does stuff. And the more stuff US does, the imperialister it is. Working class? Never heard of it. /s

          Are you fucking serious? Yes, the US is the only Imperial power in the world.

          Get the fuck over it. Your abstract universalism will be more appreciated on anarchist subs, where you can go call China fascist because it’s had conflicts with other countries.

            Oh, I am dead fucking serious. The history has shown that both Paris Commune and USSR have arose from cracks of the weaker parties in imperialist war, and social chauvinists like Plekhanov and Kautsky have been wrong in siding with state over the proletariat.

            Get the fuck over it. Your militant idealism will be more appreciated on anarchist subs, where the class struggle is already out of the window.

              Yeah, you’re applying the “definition” Imperialism to different realities as if is an abstract universal.

              Yeah, you’re an anarchist. The vast, vast majority of people here, including the moderators who are more educated than anyone else, look at your pathetic take and call you what you are.

        Nah they have it the right way around. The global North has developed its own capitalism to the point where in order to maintain profits, it must export capital to the global South where land, labor, and materials are cheap & capital making use of these things does not yet exist.

        Capital isnt commodities, its means of production, basically companies. The west exports companies to the global south to steal the products of their labor, thus creating profits.
