Hey, comrades. I am new to lemmygrad and find it odd that there are so many marxist-leninist defending a war of agression started by an oligarch, possibly the richest man in the world. I get that you want to say that NATO is a source of evil on the global stage, but in this particular case you are defending Putin, a warlord, who has invaded many of his neighbouring countries and has stated plans to continue his campaign for megalomanial reasons.

No war but class war. Enabling an autocrat fascist oligarch does not do anything to counter the bad stuff done by NATO and the community should take a firm stand against the use of war for the sake of satisfying the dreams of a tyrant.

This is not a troll post or anything to that extent. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I think it needed to be said.

Started by Putin or his group of bourgeois thugs is not important. It is done in their interest at the expense of the proletariat.

Okay but that describes every big decision made in a capitalist country. We moved from "started by an oligarch" to here.

I care about his rhetoric because many of the things he has said he would do, he has also done, some of which has been a tragedy for those bordering Russia.

Okay free to listen to the 1:10 ratio of signal to noise but you can get a more reliable idea of military biases from someone like Lavrov.

No, I think this is reductionist rhetoric from you. Putin is the head of government and no one ever rules alone, that goes without saying.

Your post is full of rhetoric that boils the war down to Putin and his whims. I'm describing your reductionism. It does not go without saying, it's the predominant (mis)understanding spread in liberal media everywhere, and why psychologizing Putin is basically its own news topic at this point.

I was not wrong when I considered this might be a controversial opinion here and I simply do not think it should be.

Your cowardly selective quoting is noted.
