I don’t know about you, but saying that Marxists should prioritize dismantling their own country’s bourgeoisie over global imperialism seems a bit ultra-leftist

Also a bit weird that they didn’t talk about Donbass

    I’m probably just way to charitable and naive but I usually give the benefit of the doubt to leftist creators not directly tackling an issue considering how hostile mainstream platforms are to explicitly communist content.

    They could, in theory, move to a site/app that is more tolerant but they’d never be able to reach the masses and combat disinformation effectively.

    Living in a western country, especially the US and even Canada, one has to tread carefully.
