    Most of the US "left" is ready to join the US army at this point. And that includes anarchists and socdems.

      I seem to recall the reddit anarchist sub was all about it.

      Also didn't Ukraine have an anarchist battalion or something? Probably dead in a mine field now tho.

      Why are anarchists so ready to believe the state department over communists?

        Not to my recollection. I think there might be a band of them over there, but from their own reports out of Ukraine they say they've been integrated into the neo-nazi battalions whom they only have "disagreements" with.

      Yep, apparently they realized where their material interests are, the side of imperialism. The imperialism gravy train that is the post WWII boom and later on Soviet collapse has to keep running.

      They talk like it and have no qualms escalating the war to the highest extreme, but I don't think many are willing to put their own lives on the line. Being on the other side of the planet is part of why they're so glib about this war.

          Considering the whole country still shits their pants over a mere (compared to deaths we wrought) 3000 dead, yes, these cracker babies would have an attitude adjustment if they tasted 0.01% of what their govt has already done

          I think we'd unload every nuke we have the moment we're under attack. Not even on any specific target, just shower the whole planet with them
