Y'all meme, but actual anarchists looking at an invasion by any military force is going to fight it. They figure they'll live another day under Ukraine than Russia.
They're not really fighting it though, they're just directly giving aid to the military of their government. I'd at least respect them enlisting, forming their own militia to fight, doing aid work for refugees or what-have-you, but it seems kinda dumb to just give equipment to a force that's probably going to be turned on you once the conflict is over. At least if they enlisted themselves they'd get their own guns.
What do you think Russia is going to do when they win this war? I'm not seeing how one right wing state is better than another for anarchists. If anything, shouldn't they be fighting against the state that is celebrating nazis?
The faster the anarchists in Ukraine can help end this war, the faster Ukraine's fascists will be able to get back to their domestic political goals of crushing leftists into a fine paste. Be real about this, Ukraine isn't going to play nice just because anarchists coughed up a few pairs of boots.
Ukraine and Russia are the same thing and run by the same types of people. Anarchists would fare the same in either place.
You're also wrong, because when WW1 began the correct leftist stance was revolutionary defeatism, not national chauvinism. That is, the correct stance was actively encouraging the war to cease, not joining it. This is why the second international ended up splitting, because some leftists broke off to support their own country in the war. The Bolsheviks were correct by declaring all sides were detrimental to the working class and refusing any part in it.
The correct anarchist stance would be sabotaging any war effort at all to prevent more pointless death.
