Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
So is the Green Party universally seen as some kind of liberal party in most of the world? It seems like only the American Green Party is solidly left. Maybe Australia's as well.
in a lot of the Western world, there tends to be an at least nominally left party (Labour, SPD, Parti Socialiste etc), nominally aligned with labour, and sometimes even actual leftist parties that get not completely insignificant shares of the vote
Green parties scoping out a constituency in that context tend to end up going after third way bourgeois libs, whereas that constituency is completely cornered off by the two dominant parties in the US.
Well Germanys green party is very likely to become the most left party we have in parlament in the near future given how collosal our left party has fucked up only getting into parlament on a technicality in the last election. They are huge libs and pretty much the biggest warhawks and transatlantics we have.
I would suggest to every German comrade to just take the grill pill or try some single issue grass roots organizing like maybe try to bring Marxism into the climate movement. It's pretty much hopeless here because there are no organisation cristals.
Allah help us all
Ausi greens are pretty ok. Many of them are just eco-friendly libs but there are quite a few undercover MLs in there too.
