Hey, comrades. I am new to lemmygrad and find it odd that there are so many marxist-leninist defending a war of agression started by an oligarch, possibly the richest man in the world. I get that you want to say that NATO is a source of evil on the global stage, but in this particular case you are defending Putin, a warlord, who has invaded many of his neighbouring countries and has stated plans to continue his campaign for megalomanial reasons.

No war but class war. Enabling an autocrat fascist oligarch does not do anything to counter the bad stuff done by NATO and the community should take a firm stand against the use of war for the sake of satisfying the dreams of a tyrant.

This is not a troll post or anything to that extent. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I think it needed to be said.

I'm amazed that embarrassing shit like this gets any amount of upvotes here on lemmygrad. Anyone who opposes Russia for "suddenly invading a peaceful, sovereign Nation" and unironically calls Putin a Warlord, Oligarch, Richest Man, etc. is not a Marxist and definitely not a Comrade but a reactionary who parrots arguments from western media. I smell wrecker.

Admittedly it did not seem that way, but reading their replies I'm inclined to agree. One looking to learn is open and objective. One looking to spread propaganda and institute narrative change does so. This behavior unfortunately will be seen again due to this Reddit fiasco.

I am most definitely trying to learn and understand here. That being said really can not understand how calling out Putin is in any way me not being a comrade. I sincerely hope you do not think Putin should get a free pass and support for opposing the US. If that is sufficient and necessary for your support, then I don't think you are as much comrades as anti US. There are so many cases of the US being in the wrong and doing terrible stuff, yet instead of talking about those issues they are neglected and only used to support a regime that is in no capacity any better than the capitalist terror regime of the US.

"I sincerely hope you do not think Putin should get a free pass and support for opposing the US."

Not at all. He is useful for our interests solely in this scenario and in general he is another enemy of our class.
