I mean the RAF never labelled themselves and would probably reject strict labels like ML, but they were certainly in the tradition of ML with heavy influence from Mao.
Mahler left the RAF in prison and became an actual Maoist before turning antisemitist POS reactionary. He’s definitely an outlier though, however much he gets used as argument for horseshoe theory nonsense.
Couldn’t really follow events for a couple of days. How did they manage to retreat? I thought all the bridges to Lisichansk were destroyed a while ago?
Will also be interesting to see what happens with the considerable force there. They shouldn’t really be able to retreat and there’s no industrial area like Azot or Azov afaik. Could be the next mass surrender.
Can anarschmucks read even the tiniest fucking bit of theory ever and maybe realize work != wage labour? Actual productive work free from exploitation is fucking awesome and gives people a sense of community, of meaning, of worth, of pride and of having a place in the world.
Honestly if these people weren’t so rabidly ignorant, it’d almost be sad how they can only percieve menial bullshit and fucking around (literally too) high in front of Netflix as something meaningful they’d like to do as opposed to materially bettering their community via work, because capitalism has alienated them so insanely the mere notion of gratifying work is unthinkable, even “dystopian” to them.
Hopefully, but I doubt this will make too much of an impact. Everyone seems to be agreeing the UAFs structure is fairly decentralized as is - for better or worse - and there have been quite a few reports that command structure and communications have suffered some heavy attrition already. If that’s the case, this might not change much on the ground for many units locked in positional battles and pockets.
But who knows, the higher echelons of the officer corps probably have been spared the absolute worst of the front horror, so bringing their morale down to that of the men on the frontlines surely helps in some way.
Is there any actual hard proof of this “systematic mass rape of Berlin” thing to any extent? I swear this gets brought up everytime someone mentions the liberation of Germany by the Red Army. “b-b-but the Asiatics raped and pillaged, hardly liberation” and is literally just the kind of stereotype people constantly come up with to vilify Slavs and Russians (see Ukraine now).
Remember when these people were screaming bloody murder about orange man “backstabbing muh wholesum kurds”?
Well, maybe the SDF will approach the SAF, further undermining the US position in Syria.
