I had a Deprogram fan tell me Russia was imperialist and the Communist party is controlled opposition because apparently the podcast had a Russian communist come on and complain about the party being pro intervention to protect Donbas and they got purged for being anti-war.
I haven’t heard that episode but why are we immediately sympathetic to someone who got purged? Do we expect the Communist party of Russia to not apply Democratic Centralism? The party decided on the Intervention Question, those who don’t fall line should leave until they agree with the party again.
The CPRF understands the conflict is Colonial in nature. Ukraine is a hostile colony of the US and Donbas is resisting Colonization of their homeland. Ukraine made it law that the president must retake Crimea and Donbas. Ukraine was designed by the US to force Russia into war.
Especially with Yugopnik and Hakim being from countries colonized by NATO, they should see that Donbas is resisting Colonization rather than Ukraine resisting so-called Russian Colonization, it doesn’t even make sense economically. Before the Maidan Russia offered Ukraine a deal as equals while the EU deal imposed massive austerity that would shrink Ukraine’s economy within 10 years. Zelensky privatized Ukrainian land again and tried to sell it off to the world market. He banned labor unions, he banned every leftwing party. He failed to incorporate the Ukrainian Volunteer Army (Right Sector deviation), responsible for many war crimes, because they were above the state and the veteran class would turn on the government if he did. The leader of that battalion (which only recently joined the state) openly threatened to hang Zelensky if he were to consider the Minsk 2 agreements.
How is it not clear to “anti-Imperialists” that Ukraine has been colonized and weaponized against Russia? Zelensky is an obvious puppet, this was clear when the UVA refused to leave the front lines during the ceasefire (which they openly brag about breaking, hence why they remained independent from the state).
