This is so fucking funny, just the owner of the sub trying to clarify basic leftist positions and get downvoted by even bigger liberals.

    state capitalists, authoritarians and similar anti-communist ideologues,

    (Synthetic leftist PMC voice) "Every socialist state got Marx wrong, if you want to see true revolution, you need to imitate the CHAZ, not the settler red fascist state of Cuba"

    We also do not support the Ukrainian Government, the support lies with the Russian and Ukrainian people against both this imperialist invasion as well as their respective countries.

    Woke leftists will never talk about finance imperialists doing the 2014 coup to privatize Ukraine's world-class farmland. These alleged "true communists" lack the most basic materialism displayed in 1/2 of the symbol of communism.

    We are a libertarian socialist community,

    "community" neoliberal detected

    Edit: Since the post got some backlash, mostly due to me wording things badly or leaving it vague,

    this has been a failure on our part to communicate effectively, and we do apologize for that. Nothing really changes,

    Democrats have one strategy: "our messaging is bad, we need better messaging"

        The fate of Ukraine’s agricultural sector is on shaky ground. Last year, the Oakland Institute reported that over 1.6 million hectares (ha) of land in Ukraine are now under the control of foreign-based corporations. Further research has allowed for the identification of additional foreign investments. Some estimates now bring the total of Ukrainian farmland controlled by foreign companies to over 2.2 million ha;1 however, research has also identified important grey areas around land tenure in the country, and who actually controls land in Ukraine today is difficult to ascertain.

        The companies and shareholders behind foreign land acquisitions in Ukraine span many different parts of the world.

          That's as of 2015. And for context, of Ukraine's total land area of 60 million hectares, roughly 42 million is classified as agricultural land.

        large parts of Ukraine have a meter-deep layer of black humus that is incredibly fertile
