I agree it is a proxy war obviously. You would have to be blind not to notice it.

How was it a coup? Nobody was disposed of and an election is the reason why Zelensky is leady of Ukraine currently.

What does communism have to do with this conflict exactly? Both sides of the conflict are all capitalist nations.

An international (English speaking) communist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic and constructive discussion from a Marxist perspective, regardless of specific current (as long as it is progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist).

A certain knowledge of theory is expected, if you are new to/interested in communist ideas, please visit c/Communism101 before participating here. Communism101 will gladly help you by answering questions, providing resources etc.

Memes go in c/Commie Memes

Please don’t forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, upvoting good contributions and downvoting those of low-quality!

Rules

1. No Infighting

Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven’t considered yet. Critiques of other currents, as well as anarchism, are welcome as long as they stay constructive and civil.

For specific Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), there is c/AnarchismVsMarxism

2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such,

as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the “anti-USA” flavour.

3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.

That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Communist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).

4. No Bigotry.

The only dangerous minority is the rich.

5. Don’t demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention “Trusty Tahr” when answering question 2)

6. Don’t idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people’s/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.

7. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:

Racism
Sexism
Queerphobia
Ableism
Classism
Rape or assault
Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
Fascism
(National) chauvinism
Orientalism
Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
Zionism
Religious fundamentalism of any kind

(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)
