    for my 2 cents, i think that’s understandable but also misses that america is the dominating imperialist force in a way that britain wasnt any where close to being in the same ballpark as dominant as the United States, who has largely united the west under NATO in a way that would be inconceivable to the powers of WW1, and thus we can’t copy paste our analsysis from communists during WW1. In addition, Russia currently serves as a very important ally to the PRC, DPRK, and other countries in the global south struggling to overthrow US hegemony

      Yeah all true- if Russia even slightly stopped being a conservative capitalist hellscape I would swing all the way over there. And I understand that Nato has basically knowingly ensured the current war, but it doesn’t fully excuse it

      WWI’s combatants pre-revolution weren’t completely morally equivalent but definitely were relatively close
