I've had it up to here with bad faith rhetoric from liberals since this started. I have had a very bad day/year. I'm fuckin diving into storm front and earning my ban.

    The most dangerous thing about this war is that - unlike the cold war - there exists no arm of the (western) government or media that has any interest in understanding Russia's motives. They're 100% lock-step in supporting Ukraine at any cost.

    A recent study (which I'm too lazy to find right now) found that out of all mainstream Canadian media outlets only one even gently pitched the idea of a diplomatic settlement to the conflict.

    I know I'll probably get shit on for quoting Trotsky , buuuut ...

    The bourgeoisie itself sees no way out. In countries where it has already been forced to stake its last upon the card of fascism, it now toboggans with closed eyes toward an economic and military catastrophe. In the historically privileged countries, i.e., in those where the bourgeoisie can still for a certain period permit itself the luxury of democracy at the expense of national accumulations (Great Britain, France, United States, etc.), all of capital’s traditional parties are in a state of perplexity bordering on a paralysis of will.

      Trotsky was right when he was right, credit where credit is due. I disagree with him plenty as a ML/MLM but I will never deny a correct analysis. If anyone gives you grief over this please tell the mods. Fuck sectarianism. We can all have a big argument about the new world we're building after we overthrow Capital. Until then I, for one, have no interest in that shit.
