    Most of their youth wing literally split over supporting the war. when at best the only people worth supporting even critically was the LPR and DPR (and Putin couped their nascent proto-Socialist governments almost as soon as they formed.)

    I mean it’s right there ffs “Revolutionary Defeatism”

      Revolutionary defeatism is when I root for NATO to finish what they started in their quest to destroy Russia so they can then move on to China

        no one here doesn’t agree that NATO should stop arming ukraine and withdraw, the rhetorical sheen of ‘critical support’ or ‘defeatism’ doesn’t change the priorities of western leftists, but it gives everyone around here endless excuses to lecture each other about the way they talk about it being more “marxist” and “materialist”. it doesn’t matter what we call it, all that matters is pressuring natio governments to stop perpetuating the war
