      The fact that the right wingers are protesting the war while anarchists are silent on the subject is precisely the problem. Why are people who claim to be on the left ceding the anti war narrative to the right?

      Communists have been consistently against the war, and our reasons for opposing NATO proxy wars have absolutely fuck all to do with whatever the right is doing.

      Every discussion I’ve had with anarchists on the subject resulted in me having to listen to anarchists regurgitate NAFO talking points.

        Why is it that red-brown “communists” are happy protesting with their new (old) fascist friends for a peace they full well know will not come by protesting in western capitals, while the imperialist aggressor is brutally suppressing all anti-war protests in their own country?

        Anarchist are busy actually providing humanitarian aid in Ukraine or sabotaging war efforts inside Russia.

          Anarchists are busy promoting NATO proxy war at home and ensuring that thousands of people are dying in this conflict. That’s what you people are actually achieving. Anarchist position always perfectly aligns with the US foreign policy because anarchists are really just liberals in the end. Just come out and say it openly that you want this war to go on and Ukrainians to keep dying for your liberal ideology. That’s what it’s all about in the end.

            This is complete BS and you know it. This war will only end when Russia decides it has had enough of their current imperialist conquest.

                Both can be true the same time. The Russian response is clearly imperialist because they consider eastern Europe to be part of their empire and thus fight against another empire trying to pull these now independent countries to their side. But that is IMHO no justification for invading another country, especially when these now independent countries have every reason to be suspicious of their former Russian colonizers.

                    The banks had the western countries force Ukraine to oust their leader who shot protestors which were angry over said leader who made a 180° turn towards Russia?
