How is it possible to be a marxist and say the most utterly deranged things possible? It’s simple. They’re not marxist.
Fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia as a means of stabilizing capital at home and expanding its empire. The Russian Federation invaded Ukraine not with the intent of neocolonizing it or exploiting its (modest) resources, but as a last resort against the insatiable, creeping neoimperialism intent on eventually disintegrating Russia. They are not the same thing.
This is why I study Fascism. If the author were open to joining me, I’d invite them.
I feel like we can stop platforming this random dude. We get it, some dude with 200 followers has bad takes./nm
Isn’t there a communist party in Russia? I know it’s not the ruling party but last time I checked it wasn’t outlawed like in other countries…
The Communist Party of Russia is reactionary and should be treated like any other conservative party. don’t forget the so-called Communists in the state duma voted in favour of the gay propaganda law and even pushed for further laws against non-traditional families.
one of the last deprogram with Hakim,Yugopnik and JT they invited a Russian Marxist to talk about this.
It was very interesting
Deez nuts
Yes, they’re one of the biggest parties. Their influence is actually what got Putin to recognize DPR and LPR and invade. They’d been asking for it since the Maidan coup.
Calling someone who identifies with the ideology of Yugoslavia a Marxist seems a bit of a stretch
I’d disagree, Tito’s socialism with Balkan characteristics is definitely Marxist, though obviously not the best adaptation of Marxism with Market socialism. However, they don’t even claim that ideology, as they say they’re a Maoist and call “Yugoslavism” socialism with Yugoslavia’s current conditions.
Hoxha did multiple excellent pieces on the history, practice, and revisionism of the Tito-clique. It’s difficult to call them Marxist after everything he brings to light
Everyone was a revisionist to Hoxha. Crying wolf kind of makes the accusations lose potency fast.
Their thought process is “anything I don’t like is fascism”
I’m still kinda surprised that trans comrades here support Russia (even if critically so)
I’m sorry, I’m sick of having my identity weaponized to manufacture consent for imperialism by liberals who don’t actually give a shit about trans rights in any meaningful way. My country and Russia are both systemically hostile to trans people. But the cultural superstructure won’t change unless we fundamentally attack the class base.
That’s what I get from a lot of maoists, not even from the internet.
In my experience they will label anything they don’t like as “social-imperialist”.
