This makes your analogy make less sense. No nazi party came to power in the donbass. In fact they precieved that had happened in keiv and seceded.

Because its not relevant. It HAPPENS to be the case now,

It IS relevant because its the fundamental reason why we can say we'll get positive outcomes from this case. It was even baked into your explanation "ending global imperialism".

but the framing of "big vs small" is very ignorant

"Framing" is ambiguous and I'm ignoring that,

bruh

Please elaborate because as far as I see you just dont like that framing because you think its counter productive messaging, not because its wrong.

We want the larger capitalist empire to loose to the smaller capitalist empire because that leads to better outcomes. Saying otherwise is telling half truths at best.

My point is they would find some way to legally dispose of their stock to artificially decrease supply and raise prices again. Its particularly the big corporations who would do this.

  1. Do you just assume that everyone who disagrees with you is a Russian?
  2. Did you forget Russia hasn't been communist for over three decades?

2006, a fine vintage. Bush was still president.

There's a concept called "critical support", which most "tankies" are practicing. You have criticism of a side but its the lesser evil so you support it despite your criticism. You won't hear much of that criticism publicly though because that's counterproductive.

Like if I want the US to recognize the DPRK as a sovereign state so we can at least begin discussing Korean reunification, why would I bother mentioning my criticism of Juche?

Our leaders are clearly trying to scapegoat our problems onto China. As things get worse they will get more and more aggressive to China. I don't want a war with China. I want us to actually deal with our problems at home.

China may merely be a lesser of two evils. But it makes no sense in doing my rulers work for them by letting people become more sinophobic.
