Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlto Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Does anyone in here have a regular office job?0·17 days agoFor me the “defending it” is the line. So long as the person is honest in doing it just to pay their bills, that’s good enough. And it’s obviously better if they’re an actual comrade and do praxis some other way in their life.
I’ve also ended a friendship over a friend trying their damnedest to portray the landlord and hedge fund corporation she worked at as “progressive actually”. I think there’s this tendency to force oneself to believe one’s work is always a net positive for the world somehow.
Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmygrad.ml•Ongoing Zionist attacks on Iran - Megathread0·20 days agoIt’s a good wake up routine for me, prevents me from falling back asleep after the alarm rings.
Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•🇮🇷🇮🇷 General Discussion Thread Iranian Solidarity Edition - Juche 114, Week 25 🇮🇷🇮🇷0·24 days agoThere’s probably a cool thesis that could be written about a contradiction within the “America First” movement by being both anti-war and USA exceptionalist in times of decaying imperialism that can only maintained through war. Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard are the best examples of this.
Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmygrad.ml•Russia Is Winning the Ukraine War and NATO Can’t Stop It0·1 month agoI’m of the opinion that the continual and prolonged defeat of NATO against Russia is much better for the international proletariat than a proper “defeat” and withdrawal. It’s better for their resources to be bogged down in Ukraine for another decade like it’s their own Afghanistan than diverted into more winnable wars.
Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•General Discussion Thread - Juche 114, Week 23 - Failed Colour Revolution Edition0·1 month agoLosing my password to the old account here actually tanked my mental health. Glad to be back!
This is a bad post and all, but take this moment to both consider what “critical support” means and in which contexts you should use it.
It depends on your broader strategical goals. If you are a Venezuelan or Haitian communist/socdem for example, critical support for Russia means taking some pressure off of your back while gaining a potential ally. If you support Chinese Socialism, the war also depletes NATO before it can go against China.
If there were conditions for a revolution in Ukraine when the war broke out, it might make sense for those revolutionaries to align with either or neither army tactically for the broader strategical goal.
Morals are secondary, as they define your strategy, not your tactics.
