An outstanding piece! This really is the perfect case study to illustrate how the mainstream media function as an imperialist disnformation laundering network on a systemic level.

Ukraine is run by Nazis. Sorry but you are out of your depth in this conversation. You won't understand why we critically support Russia until you get your basic facts straight and stop listening to the western propaganda around this issue. Even the verbiage you are using is straight out of their propaganda playbook. You are repeating unserious cliche phrases while entirely ignoring the actual reality and history of this conflict.

Listen to the voices of people from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions who actually lived through the Nazi terror bombing. And they were the lucky ones because they are now in liberated territories. Countless Russian speaking Ukrainians continue to be terrorized and abused by Nazi thugs every day, be forced into trenches with a gun at their back, and have their friends and relatives abducted, tortured and murdered in the torture dungeons of the Kiev regime.

I don't even want to get into the whole NATO expansion argument because to me that is secondary. Russia's intervention was not only strategically correct from an anti-imperialist perspective, it was a moral imperative! And i'm tired of mincing words on this issue so i'll say it straight up: The Kiev regime is a terrorist Nazi entity with zero legitimacy that is held up only by Western money and weapons, and through brutal violence, terror and repression. Ukraine as a sovereign state does not exist anymore.

This didn't start in 2022, it started in 2014 when the US and EU orchestrated a coup and installed a puppet regime that launched a war against its own people. They are the aggressors. Russia isn't invading anything, it is liberating a brotherly nation that has been taken over by a Nazi cult and turned into a pawn of imperialist aggression against Russia. Russia is doing in Ukraine what the whole world should be doing in occupied Palestine: stopping a genocide and eliminating a rabid, fascist, out-of-control US proxy regime.

How about "Buy Yummy Deserts" or "Balloons Yelling Danger"?

I just assume he has Thai subtitles because he lives in Thailand.

His YouTube channel has a lot of pro Thai military and monarchy content.

By that logic all of us here are paid by the CPC.

as he's paid by the Thai military

Do you have any evidence for this?

Sorry but that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

a fixation that borders on the monomaniacal

That's a great turn of phrase. It really cannot be understated just how obsessed the European elites are with Russia. It is all-consuming psychosis at this point.

As a European i can confirm pretty much everything you wrote in this piece. Here in Germany the situation is getting worse every day. Energy prices are increasing with no end in sight, rents are becoming unaffordable, wages are stagnating, decent paying jobs are nowhere to be found for normal (non labor aristocracy) people, and in the meantime social programs are getting slashed left and right and all that the media and our politicians can talk about is Russia. How much we need to be afraid of them, how Russia is behind everything bad that ever happens, how they are about to invade Europe any day now, and how we urgently need to remilitarize and reintroduce the draft.

Dissent is ruthlessly repressed, anyone who speaks out against this war hysteria is immediately labeled a Putinist. People getting arrested and prosecuted for social media posts, and not just on the issue of war with Russia. Of course just like in Britain we have the effective criminalization of anti-genocide protests. We have jewish holocaust survivors being arrested for "anti-semitism" for calling out the genocide in Palestine. They are making support for the Zionist project into a litmus test for not just German citizenship but even just residence. Immigrants are scared to express support for Palestine for fear of having their residency permits revoked.

Anti-war leftist voices are virtually non-existent in the mainstream discourse and even in the niches that we do have we are constantly under siege by the state apparatus, raids on political gatherings, looking for any excuse to keep our candidates from standing for elections, surveilled by the Verfassungsschutz, and always the looming threat of having our orgs and political parties declared anti-constitutional ("verfassungswidrig") for anti-capitalist advocacy. And the far right is gaining more and more support with each election, to absolutely no surprise since the establishment is completely failing to address the rapidly declining material conditions.

a Europe that clings to delusions of unipolar supremacy

The best way to describe present day Europe. A continent completely detached from the current global reality and operating on assumptions of a world that no longer exists. A continent drowning in its own fantasies, high on the conceit of cultural and moral superiority.

😂

Multipolarity is not the end goal but it is a pathway to socialism because it represents the dismantling of the West's unipolar imperialist hegemony. I strongly recommend that you read this: https://internationalmanifesto.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/through-pluripolarity-to-socialism-a-manifesto-final.pdf

Of course, now that the Zionist-puppet terrorists are in charge the West is ok with Syria again. It couldn't be more transparent why they wanted Assad out.

Yep. I don't like it either. It is one of the worst misnomers in all of Marxist theory, because actually it's not a form of capitalism but a form of socialism. But the fact that it has "capitalism" in the name causes so much unnecessary confusion.

This was very entertaining to read. Also completely unsurprising. This is pretty much what i expected. Basically a normal, diverse society with diverse viewpoints and varying levels of historical, scientific and political literacy. As communists we should not expect that everyone in a socialist society is going to be a Marxist. It was not the case in the USSR and it is not the case in any of the AES states today. You're always going to have a certain percentage of wackos. What matters is that support for the socialist project has sufficient critical mass (which has a lot to do with the performance of the government in delivering tangible material results for the people) and that there are still enough people being properly educated in Marxism-Leninism to form the next generation of vanguard cadres.
