It's so nice to see the influx of redditors down voting the loonies who had settled in like black mould around here!
What do you think the .ml of lemmy.ml stands for?
What I don't get is why Marxist leninists seem to support Russia in this conflict, just because it was ruled by a Marxist Leninist party over 30 years ago. The current Russian regime is just as capitalist as any western government. The only plausible reason to me is that they still see capitalism as synonymous with "the west" even though it is a global system which rules all large nations today.
"Support" is a big word. Most would see it as an inter-capitalist war. One staged and initiated by American imperialism in the region. The end result of which will be the weakening of American imperialism and the emergence of a multipolar geopolitical reality, in which the conditions for socialism are more amenable.
But really this "seem to support Russia" is simply an inability to deal in nuance, much like how libs think criticising Joe Biden equals "support" for Donald Trump.
