The invention of campism and its consequences have been a disaster for sane leftist discourse (in western europe. somehow it's not a problem in countries like poland and baltics)

The best possible peace scenario for our beloved world is to deploy Nato missiles on every russian border country ✌️ That worked well in Cuba.

Is that there on the bottom the noted genocide denier and conspiratorial edgelord Noam Chomsky. Please, Yanks, stop worshipping him. You have Bookchin.
That said, Anarchy is inevitable as embracing the theory of complexity inevitably leads towards the acceptance of anarchy (can we appreciate for a second that google scholar links to theanarchistlibrary.org)
Bookchin is dead though
Do you have any further reading about Noam Chomsky's genocide denial? I know him only as the anarchist raisin linguist
Kraut has an essay on it. He's a persona non grata in Europe. Of course, those are old takes, regarding more recent events he's saying things like "Russia is fighting more humanely in Ukraine than the US did in Iraq". I have absolutely no love left for US imperialism or its military but damn, they're not that bad. His world view is simple: US bad therefore non-US good.
I haven't seen leftists defending Russia at all, but have witnessed scores of right-wing Americans and Canadians garbling that Russian D.
Generally what you'll see is right wing types directly supporting Russia (because they hate gay and trans people) and a certain stripe of leftists who will lean more into "NATO expansionism", "Western proxy war" and all that other thoroughly debunked nonsense that, while not explicitly pro-Russia, is all directly lifted from Kremlin propaganda talking points.
You need two (or more) proxies to have a proxy war and looking at the belligerents and who supports them it's clear who is who: Ukraine is South Korea's proxy, Russia the one of North Korea.
I've seen plenty of tankies "defend Russia" M8. Especially on lemmy fucking tons of erm. What rock are you living in. If anything it's mainly tankies,neo libs,socialists (like alot of you lot). I see get involved in this harry kissenger pick-a-side war-hawk bull-shit I mean neo-libs,socialists,tankies aren't exactly the brightest
Me personally fuck Putin and fuck zelensky. I don't care who wins. I just wish for a end to the senseless war.Stop the war stop civilians getting harmed or worse. And stop people's personal property and livelihoods getting destroyed. There are no winners in war only losers. And in the end of the day. You can mend broken infrastructure. But you can't mend the dead or maimed
There's 8 billion people in the world. After this war and all the dead there will be 8.2 billion people in the world.
Society is what we have spent centuries crafting.
One side of this war wants to completely destroy society and push further into Europe, trying to reclaim their land holdings from hundred years ago.
The other side just wants to exist and be left alone.
I very much care about who wins

I have. Not so much that they are all rah, rah, russia, but because the west is the one supporting Ukraine. They seem to believe russia was, in fact, there to "de-nazify" Ukraine, and other russian propaganda. You know, the country who had recently ousted a putin puppet, then elected a Jewish man in a landslide, was so in need of a russia to fight the nazis that have over run the country.
