Ukraine is the true litmus test for leftists when it comes to international geopolitics.
You will really find out which of those who call themselves leftists will be the ones doing the bidding for imperialists when revolutions finally arrive at the imperial core.
One of the most interesting observations that this whole Ukraine war revealed is just how stark the difference in position is between leftists in the imperial core versus leftists in the Global South. The vast majority of the latter immediately recognized why Russia is on the correct side of the history, while the former spent months arguing and failing to understand how imperialism works.
It’s almost like victims of abusers can immediately recognize abusive behavior in others, while abusers themselves keep failing to understand, “how is this an abuse? she hit me first!”. That doesn’t mean victims can’t be shitty themselves, but it certainly doesn’t make them less of a victim of abuse.
Even most countries that do not have a left wing government, let alone AES, stood with Russia and refused to participate while the Western imperialists asked them to sanction Russia. It is truly one of those times when the Global South finally stood up against their imperialist oppressors and refused to do their bidding.
OP, you are from the imperial core, I suppose?
I thought the general opinion was that of indifference, rather than explicit support? I didn't research this well, so I would like to get more info.
General opinion among which groups? If you investigate you'll find out how specific it really is.
Yeah, I just need to research this. I currently don't know any news article that had talked about explicit support from countries like Chile (random country that I've remembered), I quess this is the best place to look into.
I just don't think very highly of eurocommunists or the KKE or PSV or certain US parties which are under the umbrella of "sectarianism" and therefore immune to criticism here <3
In fact the more I actually explain it to you, the shorter my time here will be
