What is the positive outcome of defending an authoritarian regime like Putin’s? I don’t see how that advances socialist goals in any way. I am learning that Zelenskyy and Ukraine are not as good as Western media describes, but I do not see how Putin is better. I’m interested in being part of Lemmygrad.ml, but not if it defends authoritarian regimes especially if they are not working towards socialism/communism. I want to work towards socialist goals, but I do not want to be used as a tool in some authoritarian geopolitical mess. Russia also gives me the impression of being colonialist but I’m not sure if that’s accurate
Just like the word “terrorist” nowadays - in the vast majority of cases these are not actual terrorists, but those who don’t toe the imperialist line. Cuba and its government, Hamas, whoever - are “terrorists” because the US says so, and they say so because they are enemies of said empire.
