@alon_mizrahi This is unhinged pseudo-left nonsense.

What is the point of bashing human cultural achievements, regardless of where they come from? This is not in anyway different from the ignorant arguments white supremacists make.

@LarryonSafari @HavryshkoMarta Huh?

[Steven Fields @stevenfields256]

@HavryshkoMarta The only social force that can potentially prevent a large scale, likely nuclear, war in the future is the working people of Ukraine, Russia and the Western countries. At least, I don’t see how a large scale nuclear war will benefit the regular folks.

[Steven Fields @stevenfields256]

@HavryshkoMarta It’s an impossibility - Ukraine depends on European financial support, not the other way around.

To keep that money flowing, Ukraine must keep softening Russia until Europe is fully re-armed. Then Europe will send in its own troops.

@LarryonSafari @HavryshkoMarta By this logic Hitler would be worthy of admiration if only he were a woman. 🙄

DSA-aligned Jacobin has continued publishing articles celebrating Democratic election victories...Yet the first major demonstration since the election of what the Democratic Party actually does has gone unexamined.

@DavidWSWSarts @10DaysThatShook … “The Devils”, where he explicitly rejects materialism and the rational in favour of religion and mysticism.

[Steven Fields @stevenfields256]

@DavidWSWSarts @10DaysThatShook …military service left a mark on him. He rejected the rational and the belief in progress and embraced mysticism, Russian chauvinism and Christian fundamentalism. But he retained his sympathy for the poor and powerless.

This is perhaps most explicit stated in his book…

Fyodor Dostoevesky (1821) – The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, “White Nights,” “One of the “great masters of the written word,” whose approach involved “depicting the most complex psychological patterns, of penetrating into the hidden and dark depths of the human spirit” (Voronsky)

@ZakatLex The only progressive way for this war to end is via class struggle. It is not in the interests of the working people - whether in Ukraine, Russia or the West - for this war to metastasize until it becomes a full-fledged nuclear WW 3.

[Steven Fields @stevenfields256]

@ZakatLex This is a proxy war; the western imperialist powers will not allow the war to end until Russia is defeated.

Moreover, neither Putin nor Zelensky regimes care about what their citizens want. They work for the interests of their respective oligarchs.

Bernie Sanders’s joint appearance with former CIA officer Elissa Slotkin on Tuesday exposes the political alliance between the Democratic Party’s nominal left and its military-intelligence representatives.

@IsnitJustKit @captive_0 …are these wars fought? Do they benefit the common, working people? Or are they fought chiefly in the interests of the national bourgeois elites?

[Steven Fields @stevenfields256]

@IsnitJustKit @captive_0 If one does this, it leads to the conclusion made by Carl von Clausewitz: wars are simply a continuation of politics by other means. Moreover, they are a builtin feature of capitalism, and not the product of “evil”. Another crucial question poses itself: in whose interests…

[Steven Fields @stevenfields256]

@IsnitJustKit @captive_0 Bourgeois politicians say whatever is most convenient at the moment… news at 11.

By the way I am neither pro-Russia nor pro-Ukraine. Both are ruled by regimes whose only concern is protecting its oligarchs. I do object to your black-and-white understanding of the conflict.
