I just don’t think all this blood is worth it like you think it is. I think the broader geopolitical implications of this war ending one way or another are not more or less likely to result in communist revolution anywhere. In that sense I do not support either side, but take a stance similar to the Zapatistas which I shared last night, which is that first and foremost the war should end and as many lives as possible should be saved.
Do you feel as though, after a war this nasty, that the treatment of ethnic Ukrainians in an annexed eastern Ukraine will be better than what ethnic Russians were dealing with under the post-coup government? How can you be so certain you’re not exchanging one ethnic cleansing with another? Especially when one of Russia’s war goals is to “cleanse” Ukraine of Nazis, anyway. Do you trust a capitalist government to make that call? Would you trust the US government if it said it was going to kill all the American Nazis?

I do not share your certainty.
Genuinely go fuck yourself.
Genuinely explain to me how you or anyone can be certain about the future treatment of a conquered people by a regime not known for its delicacy?
