@onligrikdefne I do pragmatically support russia but there needs to be reason to it. Taliban's existence does nothing against western hegemony or for the socialist cause. The Taliban are an oppressive cancer on their own country committing atrocities against half of their own people.
@_technocore_@onligrikdefne To reiterate though I dont support russian nationalism but I support ru'zz'ia because their victory is aligned with other geopolitical shifts I would like to see, namely rise of China, fall of western hegemony, discrediting of NATO, multipolarity etc.
@_technocore_@onligrikdefne Secondly, you're extremely naรฏve if you larp as a radical and then regurgitate western propaganda, "poor, war-torn" verbatim. The West pays the bill for Ukraine solely to destabilise Russia and reinforce their hegemony. Its a proxy war and ๐บ๐ฆ losing is a massacrous loss for ๐บ๐ฒ๐ช๐บ.
@_technocore_@onligrikdefne Its a poor country because of post 1991 capitalist economic policy and its underdeveloped because of the collapse of the USSR.Ukraine would be far more developed today if the USSR never collapsed and the economy wasnt privatised. Do you live in ๐บ๐ฆ? What are your views on the ussr
@onligrikdefne@_technocore_ Ok I will agree that is indefensible from the empire but ofc as a communist im not defending the emperor. Also you're dragging the debate to the empire, Ukrainians mostly supported the USSR(80%+ vote share for cpsu in 1989 semi free elections).
@_technocore_@onligrikdefne The Ukrainian Insurgent Army was a far right antisemitic anti communist movement. As a self proclaimed socialist, invoking them as a defense for Ukrainian resistance against the ussr is atl ironic. They also weren't that popular. Brezhnev was Ukrainian, Khrushchev was from ua.
@_technocore_@onligrikdefne I dont want russia to win per se, i want ukraine to lose. Ukraine losing would mean the West fails to defend a puppet on its border. It empowers states further away to stray from the west and ally with China or remain neutral. Furthermore, downstream benefits to both prc and dprk
@BanderiteAzov@onligrikdefne Yes but it also undermines Western unipolarity. Ultimately its a net benefit for China since they get cheap oil and learn how to not get f'ed up by drones without being f'ed up. A weaker and distracted West is good for socialism anyways, burn everything in Dobas, lose in Taiwan.
@onligrikdefne Further he was a socialist as well and later tried to flee to the USSR to continue anti colonial activities but died(there are conspiracies he didnt tho, its somewhat controversial) in a plane crash. So yes one could've supported the Axis while being socialist. Its realpolitik.
@onligrikdefne Yes, as a Bengali Indian, I consider Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to be one of the greatest people in general. In west bengal he's more popular than Gandhi. In WWII he allied with Germany and later Japan attempting to invade india to liberate it from colonial rule.
