you're not really comparing apples to apples here

you made the comparison in the first place dude

In fact, everything they have done has pretty much been a victory outside of random sloppy losses on occaison

this is fucking laughable and as bad as NAFO posters who refuse to accept that Ukraine is losing the war

stop your doomer bullshit and realize what side you're on

i would be in prison or worse if I lived in Russia because I am a transgender woman and an anti-imperialist communist. fuck off telling me to take anyone's side other than the international proletariat.

lol fr? that's awesome

do you seriously think the Russians have won a single victory in any theatre of this war so far which is close to comparable to the scale of victories the Red Army and western Allies were winning by 1944

like do you actually believe there's any point of comparison between those military-industrial superpowers, one of which was a revolutionary socialist republic, and the half-failed neoliberal state of Russia vs the failed neoliberal state of Ukraine

mfs see the Russians take maybe three significant towns in their whole summer offensive and think "ah yes a modern Operation Bagration"

you dont get anywhere near any high office of state in the world if you're willing to raise awareness of rich people being pedophiles and running child sex rings. it's just not done.

iran clearly doesnt really give a shit about the suffering of the palestinian ppl so much as it gives a shit abt securing its own safety and stability and like whatever, i didnt expect any different, but it's really grating to see them come out with a new statement every day or two being like "we are totally gonna fucking kill the zionist entity guys just wait and see, plans are in motion, our brave palestinian people will not be left waiting" throughout all of this. shit or get off the pot, losers. i used to have some positive feeling for them but they just let israel get away with the most heinous violation of their sovereignty and didn't do a thing. Hezbollah and Yemen make them look pathetic by comparison.

when we have a revolution in britain, one of the ironic policies I hope to see enacted is that we arrange "fox hunts" in which former members of the landed gentry are chased across fields by packs of vicious dogs and armed revolutionaries on horseback

Russians are really on the verge of turning the Donbass front into a rout at this point. Very little of the Ukrainian 2014 defensive line that hasn't been surpassed, with the final section of it (around "New York" whose actual name escapes me right now) falling apart right now.

With it behind them, the Ukrainians have basically no ability to dig in and stop the Russians anywhere in the Donetsk oblast. Whatever happens in Kursk, embarrassing as it is for the Russian state, will not reverse the much more impactful gains the Russian army is making, and does not change the fact that the only thing standing between the Russian army and the Dniepr is time.

We're very much leaving the regime of "stare at a static line on the map every day for the past year and a half"

this is really well argued im too drunk to give a proper response but i appreciate it

the ones who were radical enough to present an actual threat to the present order got their heads smashed by scumbag pigs and fascist mobs within a month; the ones whose demands could be accommodated while maintaining the overall structure got allowed to peacefully disband their camps and enter "negotiations" with bloodsoaked faculties. very similar to how the 2020 uprisings went, really. the positive to draw from this is that the radical wing was way better organised, theoretically much more advanced, and able to move more quickly and adapt more effectively than in 2020 - which featured nothing like the level of organisation or vision we saw last spring.

to compare directly - look at the difference between the hopeless CHAZ/CHOP occupation, which was really the zenith of productive radical action during 2020's uprisings, and the militant occupations of many buildings on campuses across the US - which went on for days, produced an outpouring of revolutionary theory and agitational material, and fended off all sorts of assaults before they had to send in police with damn near shotguns and accompanied by fascist mobs to dismantle them. that's the difference that four years of development of the underlying social base for revolutionary politics has made. no signs point to this development slowing down, in fact the conditions in our societies mean that it's likely to carry on accelerating. and the lessons learned from these uprisings will be learned and integrated just as the lessons learned from 2020 were in this last wave.

so keep your chin up and prepare for the next rupture, comrade, it's coming.

yeah very fair points and it's not materialist of me to engage in historical counter-factualising, just really upsetting how subjectively "good" things looked for international socialism in the mid 20th century and how badly we've fallen.

americans are literally deeply evil, so many mfs who claimed to give a shit about the genocide in Palestine but since Harris got the nomination it's become abundantly clear they were just irritated over the lack of a "competent" leader for the empire. i feel really awful for comrades over there who are having to deal with living in the midst of that, it must be soul-crushing. the only difference between zionist supremacism and amerikkkan supremacism is that the zionists are closer to the collapse of their system and thus more obviously, outwardly bloodthirsty, less wholly complacent.

Russia has succeeded in this war so far

not really

this site is too small and subcultural for feds to give a shit. maybe if we had an app and our posts got more than a few hundred views globally on a good day...

stop trying to pretend like the neoliberal shithole of modern Russia is anything near as effective a state structure as what the Bolsheviks delivered unto the world. there is no comparison to be made between the powers that fought WW2 and the ones fighting this war.

If the USSR is too strong, side with the US to weaken the USSR.

this policy is probably the thing most singularly responsible for the coming collapse of global civilisation btw
