>Oh you’re getting boringLeninhat had the right idea of you people
>>520768The irony is that for anybody who doesn't actually live in Russia or Ukraine, these debates are pretty much entirely theoretical. There are people who shill Putin and people who don't, but the position of both in regards to Western involvement is emphatic opposition. For non-Russian/Ukrainian communists at this point there are only two questions which truly distinguish the glow from the non glow.
>Do you oppose Western involvement in Ukraine?>Will you work constructively with people who have different opinions about Russia and Putin than you do?If your answer to both those questions is yes, then you are on the right side.
>>520641He's not a follower of chilies economic and political model tho his economic and political policy seems to have shifted to mussolinism especially after he read a bunch of park chung hee history books to learn economic and political lessons from
Of course this is still anti communist but if you are gonna criticize putin point out he's aa dirigsme fascist instead of a neoliberal Chile dictator
>>520806Putin is part of the current neoliberal order.
Dude literally said the only kind of criminal forces are the ones that target private property lmao.
>>520790Critical support isn't actual support* what I meant is no one actually supports* Putin
I'm sure everyone critically supports putin including me. The issue is people being mad with the critical part of the support. Oh you critical of Putin seems we have a NATO shill on our hands lads or you support Putin and aren't critical enough. This is the unnecessarily argument I'm trying to stop.
>>520811He also heavily nationalized the private sector too
And his economic policy is centralized. This is not neoliberal this is dirigsme
>>520792not celebrating. war is shit. but there already was war. 15,000 were killed since 2014 and the positions staked out by US-Ukriane were that their only intent was to never implement the Minsk agreements and forcibly retake DPR/LPR, which means current and ongoing war. And next that Russia's main concern of Ukraine joining NATO was simply non-negotiable (a "non-starter") which tells Russia the US is going to absorb it into NATO at some point, which will ultimately lead to confrontation and war.
War was here already (DPR/LPR) and further war was coming (constant NATO provocations/confrontations on the border). Russia chose to end the war quickly and decisively, rather than fight it sporadically for years or decades.
War sucks though and it doesn't always go how planners think it will (see Iraq). If this escalation leads to further escalations it could wind up in a worse place than before.
>>520834>it still makes him unpopularwith who? russians? doubt it
russians just want this ukrainian shitshow to end, if putin manages to achieve this with a relative minor blood he will be more popular than ever
