State Property Fund of Ukraine was created in 1991 for the purpose of selling off state assets, so you’re 100% correct.

Shouldn’t any communist party that works within a capitalist system be looked upon with a side-eye? Like I can’t expect much from them tbh.

I must be gullible, because I thought that person’s comment meant that we should read Lenin’s work regarding imperialism. Like how we should want both imperialist countries to weaken as much as possible so that the workers can find a chance to take power. Only issues is that the true imperialist nations that have an interest in this war, NATO/US, don’t have much to lose if Ukraine fails.

Any chance you could write out a deeper analysis on how this situation deviates from Lenin’s writings on wars between imperial powers? Or at least point me to a source that talks about it more? The only things that really jump out to me are what I wrote about in the first paragraph.

Thank you so much for this write-up, I’m learning way more about this conflict than I ever have before. I never truly recognized to what extent neo-nazi’s have hijacked Ukraine.

There’s a video, if I can find it, floating around the Internet of Zelensky meeting with his troops at the frontline in 2019 or 2020 and telling them to stop attacking the Donbass and the soldier he’s talking to just doesn’t give a shit.

BTW: I found the video you mentioned https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/04/nazis-ukrainian-war-russia/

Yeah, let’s get rid of the jobs of creatives/people who work for themselves and get an even larger pool of laborers for our corporations… insidious

Is there a particular reason why many of y’all here seem to support Russia in this conflict? It seems to me that Russia are the aggressors, and I kind of understand why Russia invaded Ukraine (strategic location and reduce their border with NATO), but isn’t it still the case that Ukrainian and Russian citizens shouldn’t have to suffer and be annexed to Russia? I’m asking this question in good faith, I’m still a baby socialist.
