    You see, under certain circumstances and hyper-specific issues. The blue Fascist is slightly less worse.

    Therefore, we should throw all our support behind the blue! Don’t criticize the blue guy because that gives more of a chance for the red guy to win!




  • Incredibly out of reality. They are essentially implying that only the west is accountable to their constituents while the East can do whatever they want because the population is “brainwashed”.

    Meanwhile the US state is in a constant state of governing against the interests of their own people.

    It’s not anything new. When the Mai Lai massacre was exposed. There was a poll and most Americans said that the massacre did not disturb them or change their support for the war.

    Americans don’t care unless it directly affects them. They’ve been trained to see war as something far away that will never reach them.

    “All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!


  • Serious question.

    Can the imperialists bankrupt themselves if this keeps up? They will never be able to supply enough to Ukraine to win the war but I’m sure there are plenty in the government who are willing to this for decades.

    Such a desperate attempt to keep Russia out of Europe. When the west loses this Cold War, there is a very real danger they escalate to nuclear war. Either that or they turn inwards and become a complete fascist block of the globe. They’re already a good way there.


  • I too think that was their plan. To big them down in a forever unwinnable war, cripple their economy with heavy sanctions and de-couple Russia form the rest of Europe.

    However I don’t think they expected most of the world to not go along with it and their economy to cushion the blow.

    Their military industrial complex still made a giant amount of profit though. I also think they now know that the NATO countries will just about go along with anything the US wants even if it hurts their own economy.



  • Exactly. Money from train ticket sales is not the point of the public transport. The payoff lies in the population being able to travel the country cheaply. Yes the train will run a loss but the country as a whole will greatly benefit with the ease of transportation.

    Capitalists only care about the sale. It is very short sided when trying to improve a nation as a whole. A private industry must constantly grow more and more to stay in business. This is detrimental in the long run as it will constantly require more and more degradation of the service and collusion with the state to maintain this profit growth. Overall, it will cost the population much more than the “losses” a public industry would.



  • For profit industry will always be more expensive than public. Because the goal of the public industry is to provide the public with that good/service. It often sells at cost or even at a deficit since it does not need to profit. Its prices will only raise if material or labor costs increase.

    Meanwhile private industries will always be looking for ways to increase price. Whether it be by cutting wages even further, adding pointless additions to up sell, “shrinkflation” etc. Because the goal is to make money despite the actual value of it’s good/service.


  • The referendum did not include the states that already left (like the Baltic states and Armenia). Russia was the largest state but they actually were one of the lowest who voted to keep (above 70% I believe). The central Asian states voted the highest to keep the union (over 90%). Belarus and Azerbaijan were also very high.

    The dissolution was not only illegal but clearly against the will of the people.

    Imagine if Ukraine had just followed the Minsk agreement? They would not have lost any further territory, no civilians bombed in Donbas, no thousands of their people marched to their deaths in a suicidal offensive. They would have been a trading hub between EU and Russia. And most of all, THERE WOULD BE PEACE!

    Now they will lose big chunks of territory, have lost thousands of people, the economy is non-existent and destroyed infrastructure. The amount of blood in the hands of the Kiev regime is horrendous. They sacrificed their country to appease western capitalists. I really wish Ukrainians could understand what is going on and turn their guns against their government and put those people on trial for what they did.
