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

It’s helpful that you said not to emotionally invest into ideas because that pushes back on the way I have been processing political ideas. Since I’ve very active in socialist circles, I’ve emotionally invested in it a lot more than I’ve actually done research. One concept that helped me feel better about this is praxis, which from my understanding is the concept of acting in conjunction with learning. I will work on taking out some of my emotional investment, mostly if it includes absolute ideas of good and evil rather than analysis
