I have been challenged in my critical support of Russia for its invasion of Ukraine by Lenin who during the First World War said it was foolish to support Germany against Russia or vice versa, and that the people should seek revolution regardless.
This is written in The Defeat of One’s Own Government in the Imperialist War
The phrase-bandying Trotsky has completely lost his bearings on a simple issue. It seems to him that to desire Russia’s defeat means desiring the victory of Germany.
In all imperialist countries the proletariat must now desire the defeat of its own government. Bukvoyed and Trotsky preferred to avoid this truth
Exactly, although I hope the rhetorical standing up turns into a material reality. Overall though “It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.”
I wonder how many people know that the Russians just recently sent their military into Kazakhstan to prevent a color revolution and then withdrew their troops immediately afterward? Very imperialist. People rely on western propaganda to shape their understanding of Russia and are surprised when it doesn’t quite quite make sense…
indeed. we have very little to almost inexistent information about what is going on around the world, all these years. And that information is still filtered through the western media. i will not be surprised if ALL upheaval has been NATO’s making…
