    How is it a hit to western imperialism? Based on our current knowledge ukraine was never to actually join NATO. The west wanted russia to attack. At this point it is naive to think that the ukraine invasion was not in the interest of the west.

    Capitalist can never be real antifascist because they create the material conditions for them. Case in point USA in ww2. Fought the nazis and killed them, but never actually denazified europe bc fascism feeds of the estranged proletariat. So Putin might be sincere in his denazification motives but as long as the roots of the problem aren’t removed it will ultimately be useless. So NO putin is NOT the biggest anti fascist alive.

    Next point. Yes, russia isn’t imperialist. However I don’t see how them stopping ukraine from joining NATO is actually fighting imperialism. Ukraine is just a pawn sacrifice to revitalize the NATO military industrial complex and this new cold war will once again cause many unnecessary proxy wars. Russia isn’t fighting imperialism its just fighting for its security interests.



  • I think nobody denies that periphery countries have lower wages. The really interesting question is whether the higher wages in imperialist countries come from the periphery or are simply the result of other factors (Unionization, better education and machines etc.
