And it's not the same as this speech to Switzerland, which strangely skips the ban part. Weird huh?

Suck my ass, Ukraine. If America tells you someone if the "good guy" you should immediately assume they are in fact a piece of shit.

Spread this shit around.

And this isn't supporting Russia. This is just showing that any "leftist" should not be supporting Ukraine as well.

    As far as I can tell, Genzedong is literally the only place this has been posted at all on Reddit.

    It feels like literally nothing can budge unconditional support for Ukraine by libs.

        This piece should be shown to any leftist who still thinks it's a good idea to take sides in any act of war or power struggle between capitalist nations.

        Support for any of these nations is directly support for the suppression of the working class and any socialist movements within these states.

          Well people will admit when you raise good points and can be convinced, and I have done it before with coworkers. But in my experience their general outlook does not change. The media they look at will be 100 times more influential then I will ever be. Which is a pessimistic outlook

    Already there’s people saying Ukraine is “becoming more progressive because of the war”.

    Libs will have us all line up against the wall and call our deaths necessary to ensure democracy’s survival.

      I've heard rumours that Zelensky has lost control of the army and can't get them to withdraw from the east to defend the cities which is why they're so desperately pressing foreign volunteers into service

        A November 2016 poll, found that 48% of respondents supported a ban on Communist ideology in Ukraine, 36% were against it and 16% are undecided. It also found that 41% of respondents said they support the initiative to dismantle all monuments to Lenin in the country, whereas (48 percent) are against this and 11% are undecided

        It's to the right of Zelensky's party though isn't it? They don't seem like opposition, they seem more like collaborators that just want things harder.

          Fun fact Poroshenko wanted Zelensky to get a drug test done before a debate, and Zelensky refused to get it done with him, instead opting to do the drug test at a private clinic. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/05/ukraine-president-takes-up-comedians-drug-test-challenge

          Reading about both of these guys is pretty wild, not very based neither on the politics nor the corruption or personal problems.

          Ukraine’s presidential candidates have both submitted to drug tests as the country’s elections increasingly resemble a political circus in the final weeks of the campaign.

          It was never contrarianism. It was understanding history and the material conditions of the country. The less Americans are able to point out Ukraine on a map, the more likely they were to support this BS.

          NATO: literally staffed by ex-nazis since the beginning. Exists to establish preponderant US hegemony in Europe and encircle Russia

          The USA: literally funded the rise of the nazis, and minimally contributed to their downfall, only so it could brain drain them and dictate capitalism in West Germany through the Marshall plan.

          Ukraine: Nazi collaborators thru Bandera, tons of popular nazi movements, some of which get absorbed into the military

          Ukrainian leftists: banned, suppressed, murdered

          Ukrainan Russians: ethnically cleansed since 2014 US-backed "revolution" that brought Azov battalion into existence

          US/Ukraine: the only two countries to consistently vote against combating nazism at the UN

          Ukraine: unstable country that Russian natural gas lines pas through. A Great source of wealth for Russia.

          Russia: mainly capitalist because despised US-backed leaders Gorbachev and Yeltsin

          USA: obviously engineering the entire situation to create as much instability as possible in order to destabilize, balkanize, and subordinate ex-soviet nations to US military hegemony.

          US astroturfed social media: zelensky based! ukraine based! I just learned about this country last week!

    goddamn, it feels good to not be a liberal. Pointing out what has happened in Ukraine since 2014 wasnt enough for liberals. Will this very recent event be enough?

      This combined with Zelensky's bill to open up a private agricultural land market. NATO wasn't the end goal for the West, it is a tool to get IMF deregulation and privatization.

        I suspect it was both an end goal (in terms of weapons emplacement and such, not necessary committing to Ukraine's defense) AND a means to subjugate people to the IMF economically.
