    Once again, the non-revisionist non-reformist internationalist socialist position is to not take sides in a conventional inter-imperialist (read inter-capitalist) war.
    Ukraine de facto acts as the proxy of the West, while Russia is a regional imperialist power.
    Both are capitalist governments fighting each other over their respective interests, there is nothing proletarian about Ukraine; the international proletariat belongs to no country…

    Anti-colonial/liberation wars are another topic. Critical support is warranted there, even if it isn’t a proletarian movement fighting them.

    All the liberals masquerading as leftists always seem to forget “No war but class war!” whenever it’s convenient for them; so please eat your veggies read your theory…

      You’re so steeped in theory and strategy that you’ve forgotten to defend the universal human right to self-determination. Ukrainians do not consent to being governed by Russia, and that is reason enough for me to side with them.
