Debunking NATO propaganda and consent manufacturing means massively massively more than your personal relationships and comfort. I don't want to hear how hard it is to be called a 'shill for Putin'. People should have already been calling you a shill for Assad, for Kim Jong Un, for Xi, for Castro or you have been fucking NEGLIGENT AS LEFTISTS. If you're in the imperial core your primary fucking duty is to anti imperialism. Clearly a lot of you haven't been doing this. Now there are possible nuclear consequences and I see a great deal of you still too fucking chicken shit to stick their necks out for people living under the thumbs of America and NATO. Investigate the situation thoroughly and have an informed, consistent take based in Marxism and historical materialism and then REPEAT IT LOUDLY AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD DO NOT STAND FOR THIS. This is supposed to be a board of principled communists, act like it.

Anarchist here, who has recently been called "tankie" for calling B.S. on U.S. propaganda. I guess Chomsky is a "tankie" too.
Even MLs and their tiny subset of actual tankies don't do Russia/Putin, because the latter are explicitly and unabashedly capitalist.
Liberals just can't do fucking words. :shrug-outta-hecks:
EVEN THE ANARCHISTS ARE ON BOARD! LEFT UNITY ACHIEVED. PARTY LINE OR WHATEVER ANARCHISTS DO ACTIVATE!
Chomsky's take on Ukraine has been consistent with the "It's bad but NATO started it" line we arrived at too
So...I'm starting to imagine maybe this should be the general leftist position and we should fucking stick to it?
Western Left position should be: No involvement in war, negotiate peace for both parties. No more arms, no more volunteers, no more drones.
