      What is the intended result of doxxing Belarusian cops? Not the short term result, the desired end. It's to weaken Lukashenko's grip on power so a western-backed opposition can seize power and privatize their industry.

      There isn't going to be any other result. There is no hypothetical third scenario where they hold true free elections and an epic breadtube catgirl libsoc wins and establishes worker co-op socialism. It's either Luka stays in power or the neoliberals seize power. If the latter happens they will crush the Communist Party and ensure that Belarus falls in line with western capitalism for the foreseeable future.

      So maybe you're a liberal idealist that doesn't care about the end result as long as mean cops get hurt. That's your right. But we are going to call you out on your dumb bullshit.
