      Hi 👋 Am a Marxist. Just don’t support authoritarian war machines headed by an exKGB, anti-LGBT christofascist. That y’all are supporting this obvious war of aggression is embarrassing and shameful to the rest of us actual communists and socialists with integrity. And we’re not going anywhere 😘

        Marxists typically have the decency to study history, e.g. Euromaidan and the ensuing civil war, the Minsk accords, etc.

        This is a proxy war and some leftists don’t want NATO to win, is that so hard to understand? We also believe it was an avoidable war
