You’re being melodramatic! As if there’s any democracy in parliamentarism anyway! You’re basically telling me that people who challenge their society gets arrested and some might die. I don’t sympathize with people willing to sacrifice themselves for a state or a nation. That’s foolish, especially when this state has been defeated! The geographical location of Ukraine has been Russian for a very long time and I’m curious what you think Ukrainian (as opposed to Russian) culture even is. The state of Ukraine is barely 33 years old! Additionally Russia organizes itself into regions with varying levels of autonomy, sometimes regions with very high autonomy. It’s not like a country such as Poland or Czechia where there’s little difference between the regions.
You’re wrong about the outcome of nuclear war. The only way only Russia is exterminated by nuclear war would be 1) If the US would attack first and 2) If they resign to their fate without retaliating or 3) it happens in your fantasy. 1 and 2 are highly unlikely. 3 is guaranteed but not helpful.
It’s true that MLs hate America as it exists right now. Even if you ignore all of the other faults of USA, they’re the primary enforcer of capitalism after all. America effectively runs the world, holds the exchange currency of the world, decides international law (especially surrounding the internet and intellectual property) and isn’t held accountable by anything or anyone, not even its own citizens. The reason why MLs might support many of Americas enemies is because America decides to be enemies with Marxist-Leninist states. You have to ask yourself how reasonable it is to have a country consistently deciding to make enemies of other countries because they run a different society. Russia however isn’t Marxist-Leninist so MLs don’t have a stake in defending Russia.
Most people are pawns, not just Ukrainians. Like I said; we’re slaves and additionally many are undereducated and uninformed. If people want to truly be their own people they should aspire to break free from capitalist propaganda but many just eat it right up. Even you seem to treat Ukrainians like pawns since you believe that so many will be unable to live in Russia, maybe you should give them more credit than that?
