“this war is totally about NATO defending innocent Ukrainians from Russia,” cries NATO, as it deports innocent Ukrainians back to the war zone. And here’s the kicker: The Ukrainian government needs them to do this, because it’s nearly run out of military age males to draft human traffick into mine fields with insufficient training who are still in the country.
what if revolutionary defeatism? what if no war but class war? what if the ukrainian proletariat doesn’t deserve to be used as meat shields for the preemptive geopolitical jockeying of NATO against BRICS?

BONUS:
I think there’s an important difference here between capitalist and socialist uses. The bourgeoise state vs proletarian state. One is in service of the bourgeoisie while one is in service of the proletariat. One is in service of exploitation while one is in service of liberation from exploitation.
