        Hi 👋 Am a Marxist. Just don’t support authoritarian war machines headed by an exKGB, anti-LGBT christofascist. That y’all are supporting this obvious war of aggression is embarrassing and shameful to the rest of us actual communists and socialists with integrity. And we’re not going anywhere 😘

          Marxists typically have the decency to study history, e.g. Euromaidan and the ensuing civil war, the Minsk accords, etc.
