This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

"is a capitalist state trying to subordinate another capitalist state an anti capitalist state effort?" What
I don't honestly recall that line, is that from when Jyotishman plays devil's advocate?
Anyways I think Joti does a good job of analyzing the geopolitical situation in Europe in terms of Leninism, in particular with reference to Stalin's Foundations of Leninism, and the question of whether or not national liberation is progressive even if not explicitly socialist. The fight against western imperialism is truly the principal contradiction of our time.
I should've made it more clear. This is not a line from the discussion it's my parody of the title
Edit: but after watching some of this video I guess I don't really understand the whole of this war and where it really came from. I'll have to learn more I guess
I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the first social media platform I've been on where most people are open to changing their minds in the course of a discussion. It makes my head spin.
Anyways, have a look at the recent thread on Ukraine here, in particular the reply by Yogthos: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9212334/7045123
Are you really using two accounts to "downvote" the comments you don't agree with and upvote your own? lol
I have no idea what you're talking about. I have this one account.
Interesting that you'd be more moderate after watching the video, I guess I'll have to see it too.
Might've been wrong to question myself there lol. Her argument revolves around "Well Russia was provoked so they're actually fighting an anti imperialist war" and the predisposition you've to have in order to agree with her argument is that you believe most or at least a big part of the official Russian narrative.
Even if Russia really was provoked and is fighting for it's own sovereignty (by invading another country? but ok) then it's still a capitalist nation that's preying upon the nostalgia of its Soviet past and it's absolutely not becoming even slightly more communist by the day. Why should I care whether it's the thirteen colonies or the British empire that wins the American civil war?

First of all, it is wrong to entirely dismiss the Russian side in the Ukrainian conflict. Russians have as much of a right to explain their side as the bloodthirsty West. Also, it is important to remind you that the West is not a truthful/reliable source as you think it is.
Continuing with that thought, the information mentioned by the Russians was also echoed plenty of times by Western media. This was collected by comrades in this thread post below and it is specially tailored for people that yet operate in the western framework(just like you are doing as of now):
You keep looking down on our russian comrades with this other statement. What if I told you that Russia has way more probability to become socialist again than the whole European countries(that are actively rushing into fascism)?
It is better to take a step back on your contempt and investigate what russian comrades have achieved so far.
