Didn’t the Soviet Union collapse like 33 years ago? I mean fuck I wasn’t even alive when it collapsed. I really don’t get the nostalgia posts. I fucking hate the 20th century and I want something better and new.

I suggest you watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO5eN_isY8&t=34s

Jail fucking sucks, you don’t want to go there. You can help people learn without going to jail.

Idk honestly where I live in the EU there is almost always a way to get around without a car it’s just often not as convenient/ requires more planning, so most people just make up some kind of excuse for themselves as to why they need it. Also what about organising car sharing?

Fuck Isreal

I thought the book was ok Losurdo definitely had his rose tinted glasses on when he wrote it, but that’s just my weird anarchist opinion.

Watched this film today, it’s pretty good.

I mean the rise of tourism and capitalism are intrinsically linked. Galavanting around the world was always kinda bourgeois, and it’s hard to actually get to know a place when you only have a month off work in a year. I guess the best way to travel to another place is because of work or family. Then you’re actually forced to engage with the local environment to some degree.

Yeah tourism sucks the life out of every city, and personally I never understood wanderlust but I was forced to move around as a child.

I feel like rich culture and kind people exist everywhere, and every government is corrupt.

But France. The Spanish and Portuguese hate tourists.

I typed out a reply twice and lost it both times now I cbf. All I’m gonna say is you’re right I haven’t read Lenin in nearly 14 years I should check it out again if I can be fucked. I agree that the west started the war, and that they were arrogant enough to think that Russia would just fold because they’re part of the mongol horde or whatever fucking stupid shit some nazi propagandadist came up with. Honestly I always found both sides using the genocide term to be awful and it cheated the actual meaning of the word. Gaza is a genocide. The sources I have irl informed me that many of the Russian leftists who tried to set up stuff in eastern Ukraine were killed.

I feel your need to bring up gender as a dunk to be fucking pathetic. What does gender have to do with any of this?

You don’t know me, or what I’ve done politically. I’m just tired of being used as a weapon of war, and taking part in an information war is part of that. I’m going to go outside enjoy the beautiful sunny day hang out with my family, and count my lucky stars that I’m not being bombed, shot at, shelled or hunted by autonomous drones.

I feel like we will never see eye to eye on this and we‘d both wasting our time trying to get the other person to agree. I hope you enjoy your weekend and that nobody you know ever has to die in a stupid fucking war.

Ok.

The thing is this isn’t an anti imperialist war. Russia doesn’t have some revolutionary army that is going to free any one from imperialism. It’s literally just two bourgeoise armies fighting. So I don’t support either side and neither should any one who calls themselves a Leninist ( I’m not a Leninist.) Any one who makes any excuse for either side is just a propagandist, plain and simple, just because some people can on this website can see through American bullshit doesn’t mean they’re not a propagandist. The frag your CO memes all apply to the Russian side as much as the Ukrainian side. Bourgeoise war is bourgeoise war, there is no winner for a normal person here. They’re just waiting to see which jack boot will stamp on their face.

If you really think Putins Russia is anti fascist just because they’re defunding their turf so they can keep looting Ukraine then idk what to tell you other than you’re a war propagandist. Also how will this war help any leftist movement? It won’t. Both the Ukrainians and Russians hate leftists. The communist party in Russia is essentially just controlled opposition and when people formed Soviet’s in eastern Ukraine Putin had them killed. Supporting either side in this war does nothing for me, the average Russian or the average Ukrainian and by doing that all you’re doing is helping one shitty government kill the citizens of another .

I don’t analyze it as good or bad, there are plenty of far right guys in the Russian army, they’re just better at keeping that locked down. I honestly you’re doing the same thing you accuse me of doing. You’re just finding evidence of Nazis in the Ukrainian army and saying look bad. I know the Ukrainian army is full of far right freaks, literally every army is. Far right nationalist freaks love the army doesn’t matter which country you’re in.

I’m aware, but either way this war doesn’t seem to revolutionary in anyway, it’s just two opposing capitalist countries fighting. I’m not really rooting for either side. I don’t know if either side has the Ukrainians people’s best interest at heart. The Russian bourgeoise was just robbing Ukraine and now the American bourgeoise are just using them as cannon fodder. Fuck all those people.

I don’t think the Ukraine under Russia would be any better than Ukraine under the USA, I think people just enjoy looting the country. I don’t see a difference between two competing bourgeoise parties scrambling to control a very corrupt country.

Idk to me this is a stereo typical bourgeois war. I don’t think there is a good side really.

I mean, I feel sorry for people who get propagandised and convinced to die for a fruitless cause but maybe that’s just me.

I mean idk if all those people are Nazis though, lots of conscripts in this war.

I don’t understand all the cheerleading for this war from both sides. It was caused by bad politics on both sides, and I don’t feel particularly happy when I read about thousands of people loosing their lives.

Yeah I mean if you’re going to make weird fetish stuff, do it I just hate that some videos that I might enjoy watching are kind of ruined for me just by the title.
