    You dummy, if both sides have a neo-nazi problem, then the side that has neo-nazi as their government AND as the military branch (AZOV) is the much, much more serious problem to worry about. Especially if that neo-nazi government and military is being aided by western powers.

    Oh, aided by western powers who also aid “Israel” in their genocidal quest of eradicating Palestine? Zelensky also said he wants Ukraine to be the “Israel” of Europe btw.

      So certain strands of campist so-called anti-imperialist discourse have actually reached the point of stooping as low as using NATO’s support for the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime to whitewash putinism as “the lesser evil”. Fascinating. You fantasize yourself an ML while parotting anti-intellectual bullshit (no, the Ukrainian government is not …neonazi, words do have actual fucking meanings) while swallowing whole the Rusich and other Wagner nazis.

      Yup, I am a dummy. I should have fucked off from this stupid thread earlier. Cheerio.

          Sure buddy. But I never wore a mask. It’s always nice however to see the fake “Marxist Leninist” mask slip off of confident campists like you to reveal the social chauvinism that Lenin spent so much energy demolishing. 100 years ago your social chaunivistic ilk was voting to “critically support” the Kaiser’s meatgrinder while making up excuses about the British and French imperialists. Only they at least fantasized social democracy while you only have Wagner’s boots to lick.

            Yeah I believe you.

            fake “Marxist Leninist” mask slip off

            Tell me, what is the correct ML position then?

            Also campism is a meaningless word. I don’t support Russia uncritically but I do support it for its anti-imperialist role. If anything it seems like “campism” fits you pretty well, no?

              Russia has no anti-imperialist role. Russian capital exports influence wherever it can, it’s just a smaller player than the US/NATO bloc. Or are you going to make the case that Imperial Germany also had an anti-imperialist role?

              The correct Leninist position is revolutionary fucking defeatism. The Americans should lose in Iran, Israel should lose in the Levant, France should lose in the Sahel, Russia should lose in Ukraine. I mean fuck, I’m no dengist, but nobody can deny that the Chinese are playing this game beautifully for fucks sake, keep feeding the fuckers rope to hang themselves.

                The correct Leninist perspective should be a swift end to the war, which means Ukraine surrenders as soon as possible. Russia is not an imperialist power. It has a strong nationalist bourgeoisie, but no ability to export capital on the global stage in any real capacity. It’s stuck at the phase of monopoly national capitalism, which results in contradictions sharpening within Russia as they cannot export those contradictions to the global south.

                Russia has legitimate security interests in not wanting NATO dogs at their doorstep with missiles pointed straight at them. Ukraine had the ability to make peace long ago and refuse to be a part of an escalating imperialist encirclement of Russia, but it chose to be the Israel of Europe (minus the settler-colonialism).

                  Not an imperialist power and without the ability to export capital? Tell that to Bashir’s regime in Sudan. Or to the Georgians, the Armenians etc.

                  A Ukrainian defeat just means entrenchment of a frozen conflict like one of the many Russia has imposed on its borders for decades, effectively carving for its oligarchy a competition free sphere, condemning the Russian periphery to misery while feeding the Moscow and Petersburg elite. Russian imperialism/colonialism since the time of Peter the Great has not been focused in the south. Its target has always been the east and north and as much of the more industrialized west it can subjugate. That it’s current borders already encompass much of that sphere should not be allowed to hide that Russia is a settler colonial state for anything basically east of the Urals

                    The Russian imperialism of the Tsar was abolished by the Soviet Union. It didn’t magically reappear when the Soviet Union dissolved. What the west wants most out of this war is a weakened Russia by which means imperialists can plunder its economy and give imperialism a new lease on life. Russia has an utterly paltry sum of finance capital and is largely propped up by export of commodities like oil and gas. They cannot export the contradictions to the global south, even if they wanted to.

                    A Ukrainian victory would lead the road straight to continued encirclement of Russia and the potential for imperialists to retake the control they lost in the late 90s with the rise of Russia’s nationalist bourgeoisie, and cement Ukraine’s status as a European Israel. It would further NATO leverage and entrench western hegemonic imperialism.

            Actually 100 years ago communists were calling for an immediate end to WW1, and Russian Bolsheviks organized against Russia’s participation in the war, while American liberals were sending Eugene Debs to prison for opposing western involvement. Also, I’ve never met a person who used the word “ilk” who didn’t take themselves way too seriously.
