    These "eastern europeans" are always Gen Z migrants to the USA

    they go back home (to Poland/Romania/Wherever) and see the poverty of their native country, blame nebulous communism and return to the USA where their parents were probably liberal counter-revolutionaries that managed to liquidate assets of their socialist country and turn them into USD

    I have a Latvian acquaintance and everytime we spoke about politics she would rib me. At the time I did not know much about the Latvian fascist movement at the time or the class struggle in the Baltic nations (or even the apartheid system of hundreds of thousands of ethnic russians who essentially nonpeoples in todays Baltic states without the ability to vote or hold office)

    Non-citizens in Latvia: Is it a Real Problem? Following the restoration of independence in 1991, Latvia has introduced restrictive citizenship strategy involving citizenship only to those who had it before the Soviet occupation, and to their descendants. As a result, about one-third of the population in Latvia – the former citizens of the Soviet Union who had immigrated to Latvia during the Soviet period—received the status of ‘non-citizen’. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321938488_Non-citizens_in_Latvia_Is_it_a_Real_Problem

    Incidentally Phillip Farr wrote a good short book on this struggle in 1944 and what we see instead is an immense class struggle of fascists liquidating leftists in the inter-war period, Communists liquidating fascists with Soviet annexation, Nazi occupation liquidating leftists, and then communists liquidating holocaust collaborators when they came under protection of Soviet Union. The final image here is one of immense and bitter class struggle

    But anyway back to my point. After years of ribbing me about how free market economics is a beauitful thing, communism was worse than anything etc. etc. I find out her grandfather fought for the Werhmacht in ww2

    With all due respect i don't think it melted peoples brains.

    The majority of 'workers' in the West are labour aristocrats that utterly depend on the fruits of imperialism as the bourgeois flick them crumbs from their table they greedily lap up like dogs

    The fact that the first person to say "Slava Ukraini" was a German Abewerh agent whilst doing the Hitler salute in a Polish court is completely expected of this class of labour aristocrats to go walking around saying "Slava Ukraini" .

    These social fascists would've been talking about "removed" back in 2001 and 2003 in regard to Afghanistan and Iraq.

    In 2011 they would be talking about the "dictator Ghadaffi". When the US began arming ISIS in Syria they would be talking about the need to bomb Syria because "gays are being thrown off roofs"

    These same parasites can see with their own eyes the nazism in Ukraine. You can't take a picture in West Ukraine without getting a swastika, a sonnerand, Wolfsangel, SS Galician, 3rd panzer division Totenskopf or 1488 in the picture.

    It is very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheque is dependant on it

    Instagram will even allow you to select an Azov sticker with a wolfsangel https://www.diplomaticpost.co.uk/index.php/2022/05/17/instagram-adds-azov-nazi-stickers-even-as-nazis-in-usa-commit-massacres-of-innocent-people/

    Nah, that's fucking stupid, people just don't like a reactionary state invading it's neighbors.

    Russia is a progressive state at this moment in history as it is waging a war of national sovereignty against NATO imperialism and horrendous ethnic chauvinism by nazis in Ukraine against the ethnic Russian population in the Donbass

    Just like how Stalin pointed out that Egypt and the Emir of Afghanistan were objectively revolutionary despite their anti-socialist and monarchist views whilst the British imperialist Labour party were reactionary despite that, formerly, they were "for" socialism

    The same must be said of the revolutionary character of national movements in general. The unquestionably revolutionary character of the vast majority of national movements is as relative and peculiar as is the possible revolutionary character of certain particular national movements. The revolutionary character of a national movement under the conditions of imperialist oppression does not necessarily presuppose the existence of proletarian elements in the movement, the existence of a revolutionary or a republican programme of the movement, the existence of a democratic basis of the movement. The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such "desperate" democrats and "Socialists," "revolutionaries" and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism. For the same reasons, the struggle that the Egyptians merchants and bourgeois intellectuals are waging for the independence of Egypt is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the bourgeois origin and bourgeois title of the leaders of Egyptian national movement, despite the fact that they are opposed to socialism; whereas the struggle that the British "Labour" Government is waging to preserve Egypt's dependent position is for the same reason a reactionary struggle, despite the proletarian origin and the proletarian title of the members of the government, despite the fact that they are "for" socialism. There is no need to mention the national movement in other, larger, colonial and dependent countries, such as India and China, every step of which along the road to liberation, even if it runs counter to the demands of formal democracy, is a steam-hammer blow at imperialism, i.e., is undoubtedly a revolutionary step.

    When shit starts going further south in the west, people will radicalise, and with a lot it'll be further to the left. Just don't expect them to start loving fascists just because they're anti-american.

    Fascism has no meaning outside of imperialism (look at Hitlers talk with Lord Halifax on how it was "intolerable for Germany to have no colonies"). Russia has zero gain from destroying the Ukrainian State that Nato has turned into the bastion of white supremacy and neonazi training camps. Proven by the imperialists saying themselves this will "overextend and unbalance Russia" (which foreshadowed the Ukraine war, written in 2019) or Lindsay Graham saying the "Russians are dying" with an orgasmic smile on his face
