  • This narrative falls apart when you consider the fact russia was wanting peace around the start of march, and part of this peace deal was that Ukraine wouldn’t join NATO, but all the occupied land (excluding Crimea for you shitlibs there who think it is part of ukraine.) But Ukraine rejected it, since they want a regime change in russia, and control of crimea.

    The narrative that the capitalists of russia would give up their most lucrative money making scheme (selling oil to the guzzling westerners) for a brutal war just to gain bombed out cities its completely devoid of historical materialist analysis, the capitalist would never chose an option which would hurt their profits if it didn’t force them to.

    Honestly seeing leftists repeat this propaganda is disappointing, and I’m going to repeat this. You can criticise Russia, without having to use liberal-imperialist propaganda like “warm water-ports” or “occupying ukraine” or even a simple name like putler. The fact is, ukraine was conducting an extremely brutal war on separatist countries all because they seek their simple right for self-determination after their autonomy was rejected. This war came about because the west are paranoid imperialists who want to salt the earth.

    And the de-Nazification comes from more of a cultural standpoint rather than an actual struggle against fascism itself, this part is true. But seriously they have more of nazi problem than ukraine? Which literally has an ex-president who’s an open Nazi and wears Nazi Imagery? I find this extremely hard to believe.




  • EU expansion has always been since about exploiting the cheap-available labor present within those countries, First was the southern european countries which had pro-western dictatorships and crushed any forms of self-development in favour of money being siphoned into a few elite, and the east had the collapse of socialism and the wave of neo-liberalism which created rampant drug epidemic, unemployment in the millions, and the loss of the welfare states, these factors made people desperate for ‘western salvation’, and created sufficient anti-communist propaganda like the EU being the only bloc which had uplifted these nations, and thus deserves praise.

    With the EU expanding into these countries those desperate enough to feed themselves will take any opportunity despite how awful, or humiliating a job can be. Often leaving their country to permanently move to western ones to even experience a crumb of wealth that the western middle class experiences, the expansions also destroyed a lot of the labor movements present within western countries and the ones targeted by expansion. Causing inequality to swell even inside the wealthy nations in the EU.

    The other one is political. The expansion of the EU into your nation completely locks your country politics into serving western neo-liberalism, violent even fascist politics become the norm, as the image of EU prosperity fails to even materialize in these countries, the stage to address the failures of EU-finance capital will inevitably invite fascist elements into your nation. Take for example baltic nations, poland, and romania, where the choice to vote is either fascist parties, or conservative capitalists.

    To summarise here, the expansion of the EU isn’t necessarily a bad thing in itself, but that the actions which lead up to that expansion is inherently scummy. The use of NGOs, financial capitalists, and carpet baggers to dismantle the local economy forces you to accept this expansion, otherwise you’re country is at risk being completely exploited without the petty crumbs thrown at your way by western saviours. Otherwise you’ll end up as ukraine, a country so broken and corrupted is rather used by western elites as a weapon rather than a slave. So either you’re given a choice to receive bread crumbs, or be used as a weapon.
