God I hope they manage.

Iran won't be able to do that by themselves. Israel will keep bombing Lebanon hoping to bait Trump back into a war. I'm hoping that Trump finally realizes how badly the Israelis were fucking with him and gets tired of them.

Meh looking forward to our glorious leaders implementing 70 hour work weeks so we are competitive with China.

Nooo heckin Putler evil!

Seriously though this shit is open and public knowledge. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Putin, but the Ukraine war isn't one of them.

At this point a revolution or enough threat of a revolution happening that capitalists are forced to make serious reforms, otherwise they'll just keep shitting on us. As long as they're not threatened they won't stop.

Indeed.

He's talking about the manifesto, which was written so thay your average literate person could understand in the 19th century. Marx himself suggested that you don't start Capital from chapter one because its the most philosophical and complicated part of the book. He suggested people look at chapter three or something I can find my copy of capital with an intro from the 1890s where he said kinda sexistly that women shouldn't start with the first chapter because of how heavily it leans on Hegelian philosophy.

I wish he had lived long enough to write his book on the state 🙁

Tldr dude I feel like you're just saying the same shit anyways. Like I get it you want other people to fight a war for you because you think that Russia is some evil empire. Okay if that's how you think history works fine. I don't.

This is the prime thing that drives history now a days. When you look at why something is happening you should ask yourself who's making money off of this shit. Arms companies have no problem propagandizing people and sending them off to their deaths for their bottom line. I've seen it happen multiple times in my life time Ukraine is no different. If you feel so strongly about the war join up and go fight. They need all the bodies they can get.

So in the link you posted, isn't a good example of Russian imperialism, seeing as Communism wasn't really exclusively Russian movement. They seem more like incidents that happened during the Russian civil war. I don't know enough about the background of the Polish republic, but from my very brief reading about it it seems as though around the same time Poland was fighting both the Czech Republic and Ukraine.

Also this happened? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Coup_(Poland)

As I said I'm sure internal Polish politics were pretty crazy in the 1920s and 1930s like everywhere in Europe but the example you gave me seems like a very bad example of Russian imperialism.

I know all about Zersetzung and the shitty things security services do. The same thing goes for the United States. I'm not saying that in the immediate and personal sense people are sacrificing themselves for American corporations, in the structural sense they are though. Just like the Russian soldiers are dying to secure the profits for their oligarchic class, it's truly the same shit on both sides with various posters on the internet choosing teams. I've said this 100x but you still don't get it I don't support Putin, I just don't think everything he's saying about the war in Ukraine is a lie.

One way to avoid war is not to participate in it. Which is why I think its strange that conscientious objectors are harassed in Ukraine. To me that shows that this war isn't really in the interest of the average person. If you want to call it an imperialist war that's fine, but please use the correct term for imperialism, which is when capitalists start a war to secure profits.

But you and I just have a fundamentally different view of how the world works so whatever I'm not going to keep arguing with you because it's pointless.

Huh? You mean ww2? The west should definitely stop being imperalist.

Idk why you keep responding to me, you refuse to give any sources for what you say, you just keep spamming me with your ideological takes.

Here something else you can watch a former east German spy who worked in NATO confirming what I told you.

Edit: Look I get it it sucks that Ukraine is currently being sacrificed for western corporations but I hate to tell you that the EU and The USA don't really give a fuck about the lives of Ukrainians you're pawns in an imperial game.
