      If you are really enjoying simping for a neo-liberal protofascist dictatorship, then stop calling yourself a “Marxist”

        rather simp for someone opposing nato expansion than for a neonazi puppet regime staffed by people handpicked by the CIA. I swear you liberals refuse on purpose to understand that in the grand scheme of things the action of a “bad guy” can still be beneficial.

        Russia isn’t conquering the world anytime soon. So what would you rather have? a more multipolar world where russia has a relatively safe and solid position after showing that it won’t be bullied into submission by nato (with the whole world watching), or a world where russia is balkanized into several statelets without the political, economic or military strength to resist capitalist infiltration?

        We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.

        So yeah, i am rooting for the “neoliberal protofascist dictatorship”. There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.

          The 2nd one

          • Honestly we should balkanize the whole world. What’s even this leftist drivel about peace and prosperity. Go back to feudalism. It worked for 1000 years. Then we should balkanize what we balkanized too, just for good measure. I mean why stop at the first balkanisation, right?

              You joke, but this could be the ultimate destination of neoliberal thought, where everyone is a sovereign into themselves.

                the ultimate destination of neoliberal thought, where every employer is an unregulated sovereign into themselves.

          No you don’t get it, the USSR had red fascism and was secretly capitalist, the only way to build socialism is to support NATO expansion and back the US in the coming war against China for Taiwan.

          Once all AES countries are bombed back to the stone age the Western left will finally rise up and demand… more social democracy!

        I guess this is why East Germans miss the GDR…

        https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/homesick-for-a-dictatorship-majority-of-eastern-germans-feel-life-better-under-communism-a-634122.html

        Today, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, 57 percent, or an absolute majority, of eastern Germans defend the former East Germany. “The GDR had more good sides than bad sides. There were some problems, but life was good there,” say 49 percent of those polled. Eight percent of eastern Germans flatly oppose all criticism of their former home and agree with the statement: “The GDR had, for the most part, good sides. Life there was happier and better than in reunified Germany today.”

          People miss the GDR because it’s antiestablishment and because a lot of people want what they don’t have. If the GDR was to exist again (and definitely after they made one or another fuck-up) people would want a united Germany again. This is the same reason why opposition parties usually fair better during the next election.

            True, but it would be the GDR annexing West Germany this time 😍

    I wonder if there’s going to be some sort of culture crisis across The West when reality hits, or if Western media is strong enough to distract everyone with something new like they did with Afghanistan.

      I think they’re already trying to shift it somewhat, the anti-Chinese stuff has picked up a bit recently.

        Yeah same. I was there, and seeing what was happening and what was being reported was a huge WTF experience
