And the pathway to socialism will be built by Russian imperialism
At this point this is just "lesser evil-ism" comparable to the American elections (unless someone really believes that Russia is going to bring about socialism by blowing up NATO then I don't even know what to say)
West is not a truthful/reliable source as you think it is.
You're putting words in my mouth. Just because I don't trust the Russian narrative doesn't mean I trust the western narrative.
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.
So your whole argument is that I'm supposed to support Russia because it has the possibility of turning socialist? How does that dismiss ANY of the arguments against this war denouncing it as imperialist?
Okay another argument is Ukrainian warcrimes (especially those against Donbass and part of the population that likes Russia). You obviously haven't heard "two wrongs don't make a right"
The Russian bourgeoisie has taken a contradictory stance with regard to the LDPR: on the one hand, it provided military and economic aid to the Donbass republics, but on the other hand, it did not politically recognize them and did not incorporate them into the Russian Federation like Crimea, but went to recognize the legitimacy of the pro-fascist Turchinov-Poroshenko-Zelensky puppet regime and signed the Minsk agreements with this regime. This did not bring peace to the LDPR and made the war a latent state on the line of contact for eight years, allowing thus the Ukrainian government to create a strong and Nazi-motivated army that became a threat not only to the LDPR but also to Russia itself.

I don't honestly recall that line, is that from when Jyotishman plays devil's advocate?
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
Lenin, party, peace
"is a capitalist state trying to subordinate another capitalist state an anti capitalist state effort?" What
"extremism on gender/race/migration" they're going to shot themselves!? ALHAMDULILLAH!!
"Marxism plus Leninism" makes it sound like a trot
Since when does Orthodox Marxism-Leninism mean operating a market economy? Since when does it mean having billionaires? Since when does it mean having private ownership of the means of production? Since when does it mean having the landlord class?

While China is obviously not as bad as the US or European social democracies it neither is a socialist state nor even a dictatorship of the proletariat (capital seeks to control every state it's operating under!) how can you speak of a dictatorship of the working class when the CPC has bourgeois members within it?
none of this justifies support for Russia
