  • While the majority of Russian capital isn’t financial it is still developing it’s financial institutions which requires imperialism.

    While I stand by my statement that this conflict is between imperialist powers it isn’t necessary to agree that Russia is imperialist to realize it’s actions aren’t something to be supported.

    What would change if Russia won, what would improve? Would Ukraine be anaxed to Russia? Another late stage capitalist state without even a shroud of democracy. Would a pro Russian puppet replace the pro Nato one? How does this improve the lives of Ukrainians.

    Furthermore; even if Russia was sosialist and had genuinely anti imperialist and anti nazi intentions, their actions would still be condemnable. Moast Ukrainians fond want Russia, they want to join the EU.

    The better way to combat western imperialism is to build support among the masses, but instead of sharpening the contradictions between Ukrainians and western imperialism and local comprador beurocrats they have dulled it and maid the primary controdiction a military national defense one.




  • I wouldn’t expect un biased as this is impossible. I’d rather look for nuanced takes who say that they did something bad, but examine why they did it and if it was necessary.

    And you must always be critical of what anyone says and thinks even yourself. It’s ruthless criticism of all that exists after all.

    As to spesific sources I don’t have any that are available as E-books. I mostly have local pamphlets and papir books printet by my or other communist groups or partyes

    Marx called religion the opium of the masses. In my experience religion has often stood in the way of class consciousness. If there is a benevolent god safe gourding us there is less need to radically change the world.

    This is of course not always true. I have comerads who are inspired by their religion.
