A video explaining modern monetary theory and how with a little Marxism it can benefit everyone.
Have you forgotten what Ruzzia does to its people?
Just to remind you:
You are not allowed free expression. You can be arrested for holding a blank sign.
Homosexuality is restricted if not forbidden completely in some regions. There is no protection for anyone in the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
It is a dictatorship in every single sense of the word. Elections are fake, and speaking put against it is forbidden.
Most people live in horrible conditions as all money has been taken by the elites.
Anything but “ruSSian culture” is ignored. the USSR is taken as a deity.
I can continue on, but you get the point.
Giving up, surrendering, does not mean only the death of the state. It is the death of democracy. Of free speech. Of anything that is ukranian. Houndreds of thousands of ukranians would be arrested for speaking out. How many more would die? Giving up would be the death of ukranian culture, its language, hundreds of years of history. This what ruzzia does, and this is what they intended to do.
And do you seriously think that Ukraine giving up would be the end, though? Seriously? It’s like saying that everything ended after the US invaded Iraq or Afghanistan. Of course not. Fucking hell the invasion itself was supposed to be the easy part. There would be descent all over, hidden cells that would cause as much chaos to this new “management.” It would never end.
And they didn’t use any of these ways to back euromaidan. It was not backed. It was a grassroots movement.
I would not blame the United States for “increasing risk of nuclear war.” It’s ruzzia that constantly swings its nukes around. Are you seriously gonna be like, “Oh sure, let them bully everyone because of their nukes” nah fuck that. I am more than confident that not only the orcs do not have the stupidity to use their arsenal, if they did, its them who would be exterminated, not the free world.
Finally, he is using ruzzian or Chinese propaganda, hard to tell because they are so bloody similar to this issue. It is odd to me that ML supporting ruzzia would surprise you? Why? Most MLs and tankies work on “America bad” logic. So they support any and all of America enemies. Be it China, ruzzia, North Korea, or Cuba. It does not matter, just so they can be against the us.
His whole video and and most of channel works on that logic, and this specific video is pro ruzzia. He never specifically criticises ruzzia, he sure loves telling bullshit about Ukrainians and making them just pawns in a game us is playing. Which is extremely insulting and degrading if you ask me.
You’re being melodramatic! As if there’s any democracy in parliamentarism anyway! You’re basically telling me that people who challenge their society gets arrested and some might die. I don’t sympathize with people willing to sacrifice themselves for a state or a nation. That’s foolish, especially when this state has been defeated! The geographical location of Ukraine has been Russian for a very long time and I’m curious what you think Ukrainian (as opposed to Russian) culture even is. The state of Ukraine is barely 33 years old! Additionally Russia organizes itself into regions with varying levels of autonomy, sometimes regions with very high autonomy. It’s not like a country such as Poland or Czechia where there’s little difference between the regions.
You’re wrong about the outcome of nuclear war. The only way only Russia is exterminated by nuclear war would be 1) If the US would attack first and 2) If they resign to their fate without retaliating or 3) it happens in your fantasy. 1 and 2 are highly unlikely. 3 is guaranteed but not helpful.
It’s true that MLs hate America as it exists right now. Even if you ignore all of the other faults of USA, they’re the primary enforcer of capitalism after all. America effectively runs the world, holds the exchange currency of the world, decides international law (especially surrounding the internet and intellectual property) and isn’t held accountable by anything or anyone, not even its own citizens. The reason why MLs might support many of Americas enemies is because America decides to be enemies with Marxist-Leninist states. You have to ask yourself how reasonable it is to have a country consistently deciding to make enemies of other countries because they run a different society. Russia however isn’t Marxist-Leninist so MLs don’t have a stake in defending Russia.
Most people are pawns, not just Ukrainians. Like I said; we’re slaves and additionally many are undereducated and uninformed. If people want to truly be their own people they should aspire to break free from capitalist propaganda but many just eat it right up. Even you seem to treat Ukrainians like pawns since you believe that so many will be unable to live in Russia, maybe you should give them more credit than that?
You know nothing about ours and their culture, yet you speak on it.
You act like states do not matter, yet you believe that the culture of the state begins at its inception. Ukrainan culture is not 33 years old. If you believe that, you are delusional.
And what about fucking sacrifice for a state are you fucking talking about? How about all the LGBTQ+ community in Ukraine? Do you wish for their rights to just fucking dissappear? Do you wish for all the political parties to go with them? The socialists too? You understand they would be banned and replaced by ruzzian “counterparts,” right?
You are genuinely fucking insane if you would rather see entire cultures die and leave people to get annihilated by imperial regimes, rather than fight back. That is not a pro war position. It is the only sane one.
And the irony that you are socialist, yet the fact ukraine has been conquered by ruzzia in the past holds any water to you says a lot. The state is outside culture. It is not the same thing. And ruzzian and ukranian culture are different. The problem is that the way fascists like ruzzia conquer states is to erase culture with it, and replace it with their own. They move or kill people, move their own in so its more and more ruzzian. Same as china. Both of these are by definition, a genocide.
I do not treat Ukrainians like pawns, you do. You want them to give up, for the western support to stop, they don’t. Vast, VAST, majority do not want to be ruzzian. Do you know why? Can you possibly know why?!
Because they remember. We remember what is was to be under a dictatorship, we know too well how evil USSR was. We all felt the cost.
But Ukrainians even more. Their houses were bombed. Their men killed. Their wives raped. Their children kidnapped and are being reeducated in ruzzia as we speak. Their villages ravaged.
Say Bucha, say its name.
If after that what this imperial regime has done to Ukraine you still feel like ukrainans should lay down their arms and resign to their fate…
…then I have nothing to tell you, because then you are too deep down up the ML ass to even talk to.
