    Ukraine and Russia are the same thing and run by the same types of people. Anarchists would fare the same in either place.

    You're also wrong, because when WW1 began the correct leftist stance was revolutionary defeatism, not national chauvinism. That is, the correct stance was actively encouraging the war to cease, not joining it. This is why the second international ended up splitting, because some leftists broke off to support their own country in the war. The Bolsheviks were correct by declaring all sides were detrimental to the working class and refusing any part in it.

    The correct anarchist stance would be sabotaging any war effort at all to prevent more pointless death.
