I mean my god they seem absolutely committed to driving us all off a cliff to hang on to their already-collapsing hegemony. Is there literally anything short of getting their teeth kicked in by a nuclear launch that could convince the leaders of "the free world" to once, just fucking once, willingly take the L?
I don't want to die in the opening cutscene of a Fallout game because whoever the hell is in charge of Germany these days decided to get into a pissing match with fucking Putin of all people.
I think targeted was not the right word, but considering that the only people able to change their country in a positive way are the people who live there, work there and love there. If my country would do this shit I would vote (lol), protest and sabotage any war effort I don’t see myself different as anyone, but doing nothing because I have limited (if any) power means accepting this hell world and I won’t do that
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of bourgeoise democracy.
The people have zero power in a bourgeoise democracy. The only people with power are the bourgeoisie and the only people that can change anything are the bourgeoisie. Short of a full blown revolution, which is absolutely not even feasible, that shit is just a vindictive attack against the people.
If other countries in the world did that shit to your country the outcome would be that the people turtle, become massively hostile to the enemy countries attacking them, and blame them for all of their problems.
This is all extremely un-marxist. Cuba, Venezuela and the DPRK are already extremely clear indications of what happens when you try to sanction a country into oblivion, it motivates the population against the enemy states performing the sanctions and all it does is harm the average person's living standards. Sanctions are evil. They are warfare targeted against the average person with every bit of evidence showing they do not work and only function to harm. The people recognise YOU as the asshole causing their pain and turn into "fuck you we'll survive this out of pure spite" mode.
Anyway I personally find the fact that you want to harm proles for the actions of the bourgeoisie really sus. Those are us. Don't other your own class based on national borders.
Thanks for explaining that! I used my words incorrectly, targeting in the sense of creating posts not harming anyone. That’s the main thing I don’t understand here: that violence seems to be ok as long as its leftists doing it, sure revolutions are bloody but a lot of Ukranians are innocent in this and these actions seem to motivate more hate for Russia/Communism
