What is Lemmygrad's stance on the Ukraine war?
I've tried to search for opinions on what's going on in Ukraine, but most posts are incredibly old. I'm not too educated on the matter myself (well, aside from keeping up most of the time with what cities are under whose control and all of that). I haven't really heard much about the geopolitical side of things, and it's hard to know what's disinfo or not; That's why I'd like to ask: What is your stance on the Ukraine war?
You're viewing a single thread.
it's an inter imperialist war, and if ww1 taught us anything it's not to side with any imperialists. even if you think it's a "lesser evil" they all want to control the whole world. their ambitions are to eat eachother & everything else
fr, the main enemy is at home. It's the task of the workers in the West to dismantle NATO and Western Imperialism. It cannot be defeated by losing an inter-imperialist war. If two imperialist camps fight they may establish a new imperialist hegemonic power but it's not in our interest to just change the imperialist powers but to abolish them.
The only way to achieve actual peace in this war is for the working class to unite against the ruling class. Unfortunately, the "left leaders" and so called "Communist parties" in Ukraine and Russia commit to a disgusting Burgfriedenpolitik just like the Social democrats did in WW1 supporting their national bourgeoisie in agitating the working class to commit fratricide.
The same disgusting position is held by many so called "leftists" in the West just with the exact same argument of the SPD in WW1 to "spread progressive politics" via imperialist domination of "totally more reactionary and evil than us" Russia.
There isn't a good side in this conflict. NATO doesn't care about Ukraine they just want to weaken Russia and Russia is trying to defend their imperialist ambitions. Anyone having any delusions about Putin being a genuine anti-imperialist should just listen to him condemning Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution.

Ok go do that. Let us know how it works out.
The US working class benefit too much from the empire to overthrow it. Material conditions must be further degraded to get popular support for revolution. The war is lowering material condition for the working class in the EU and USA.
It is also raising the prospects for the working class in the global south. BRICS+ is giving them more bargaining power. Many imperialist collaborator governments will likely resist the new prospects increasing chances of revolutions in the global south. For decades socialist revolutions were put down by western hegemony but with their capability eroded by the war and the rise of the Sino-Russian alliance the west no longer has carte blanche to meddle.
All this points to the war being a boon for socialists and furthering the path towards revolution in multiple nations. The longer it goes on the bigger the benefits.
