Marxist-Leninists typically critically support the Russian Federation for it's progressive role in opposing imperialism, presently spearheaded by the United States and secondarily from the broader west, such as the UK, France, Germany, and the various settler-colonies and imperialist coalition groups. Lemmy.ml has always had MLs.
This all sounds lovely, but I'm struggling to see Russia's role in opposing imperialism following their repeated incursions into Ukrainian territory and the more recent full-blown military invasion and the subsequent war. I understand imperialism can be summarised by one nation ruling or attempting to rule over another. How does Russia's actions with Ukraine represent a "progressive" role in opposing it?
Ukraine got couped by the US in 2014, the current government is a puppet installed specifically as a staging point for US procy warfare against Russia, they're completely justified in responding to a direct threat right on their border.
For that you'd need to recognize the people in donbas as humans.
As long as you don't, you won't understand.
When iran fights against genocide in palestine, when russia fights against genocide in donbas, the most important parallel between those two is that the burgerlanders' lackeys are the genociders.
I'm genuinely asking for information here. You talk as though my lack of understanding is some kind of position I choose to maintain. There are very few cases in which I would choose to dehumanise anyone. Except for perhaps the most extreme incidents of violent crime.
I'm someone who wants to learn what you know. Tell me.
Downvoted for asking an open question. I'm sensing extremism is lurking... XD
