this is your brain on liberalism

This is wrong thinking. While American comrades should be willing to give critical support for policies that burnie and aoc have those few policies are practically non-existent and consistently sacrificed in exchange for personal political gains. Those ideas are not aoc or burnie's ideas they just grabbed onto them. You can support the policy while disparaging people who claim to support them.

It is not a purity test. There is nothing there to purify. Lauding them for their "progressive" policy ideas (that don't go anywhere) is picking corn kernels out of a pile of shit and presenting them as gold. They are not comrades. They are tools of the capitalists through and through.

It is better to engage with supporters of aoc and burnie and show them why the little they offer is a) not enough and b) a trap to keep people from seeing there is no voting their way out of capitalism. I am 99% sure that aoc is a fbi or cia operative instilled to lure younger progressive voters into voting democrat and I am almost as sure that burnie is the same.

The part that many leftists get wrong (myself included) is our attitude and tone when trying to communicate these ideas. We often come off as combative and talking down and that is unhelpful 99% of the time.

I hate when people insist Xi is an evil dictator who doesn't really care about people and is just saying stuff like this. The ideology of the CPC is laid down in stone and you don't get to the top position in an ideological organization without having being a true believer in the ideology.

Its as stupid as saying the head of Greenpeace doesn't want to save the environment, the head of PETA is on a carnivore diet, or that the grand wizard of the KKK isn't really an anti-Semite white supremacist.

Liberals are so used to leaders who lie and they can't even conceive of a politician who's ideology isn't "make rich people richer." They don't even see that as ideology they think "Freedom and democracy" is ideology.

The background to this story that I am choosing to believe with no evidence: A Mega-Lib ICE agent who is too stupid to realize he is a fascist, beat Chernyak because had Nazi tattoos.

I never bothered with roses because I thought they were temperamental. Then a few years ago I got one on clearance and it went really well despite the horrible soil and lack of care. Now I always check the bargain bin for roses. I've lost a couple to wild life and lack of water but otherwise they are really easy going.

That is to say, we should take care not to use words that wound other comrades and should be able to stand injurious language from others.

Lenin is getting called out for being a dick.

That is a conspiracy!

You too oppo

I'm not solid on this as a prediction but other than the war continuing for another few years I don't see many paths that are more realistic.

I really doubt the uaf hardliners will stop fighting of their own accord even if the government ordered it to. Russia isn't going to be able to be passive in the face of ongoing terrorist attacks coming out of Ukraine.

So peacekeepers are going to have to be deployed eventually. As much as the west might dislike it China is the only option for peacekeepers that Russia would agree to. The only other option is for Russia to occupy all of Ukraine until denazification is complete, which nobody wants.

If ever there was a time and place to move away from their non-interventionist stance I think a peace keeping force in Ukraine would be the spot.

Won't happen. usa has shown they aren't interested, europe has shown they aren't capable. Russia has a veto in the UN and on many occasions Russians have said nato troops in ukraine will be targeted.

It is a slim possibility. It gets better if somehow China gets wrangled into being the Peacekeeping force. The banderites would destroy themselves trying to resist communist occupation further ruining the anti-communist sentiments. I bet the PLA would be into disseminating communist literature and assisting local cadres.

No clue. I imagine they are currently very fragmented and in hiding.
