That's Ukraine's current prime minister writing this opinion piece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Shmyhal
If you are really enjoying simping for a neo-liberal protofascist dictatorship, then stop calling yourself a "Marxist"
rather simp for someone opposing nato expansion than for a neonazi puppet regime staffed by people handpicked by the CIA. I swear you liberals refuse on purpose to understand that in the grand scheme of things the action of a "bad guy" can still be beneficial.
Russia isn't conquering the world anytime soon. So what would you rather have? a more multipolar world where russia has a relatively safe and solid position after showing that it won't be bullied into submission by nato (with the whole world watching), or a world where russia is balkanized into several statelets without the political, economic or military strength to resist capitalist infiltration?
We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.
So yeah, i am rooting for the "neoliberal protofascist dictatorship". There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.
No you don't get it, the USSR had red fascism and was secretly capitalist, the only way to build socialism is to support NATO expansion and back the US in the coming war against China for Taiwan.
Once all AES countries are bombed back to the stone age the Western left will finally rise up and demand... more social democracy!
GDR was a fucking authoritarian travesty fyi
I guess this is why East Germans miss the GDR...

People miss the GDR because it's antiestablishment and because a lot of people want what they don't have. If the GDR was to exist again (and definitely after they made one or another fuck-up) people would want a united Germany again. This is the same reason why opposition parties usually fair better during the next election.
True, but it would be the GDR annexing West Germany this time 😍
Stalin's biggest mistake was stopping at Berlin
Lol, go back to Lemmygrad
how's it feel to get your first ratio on lemmy?
They're from Lemmygrad, you're from Lemmy.world, and you're talking on Lemmy.ml.
What makes you think you have a better claim to the community this thread is in?
Do you just not understand federation?
Crazy how the creators of Lemmy made that instance along with this one.
Wait, they did??
If he’s referring to Lemmy.world he’s wrong. Lemmy.world has a different admin who’s not connected at all to Lemmy.ml admins afaik
Are lemmy.ml admins connected to lemmygrad.ml ones tho?
