To be fair, Marxist groups do this too. It’s just something that happens on the left, we aren’t immune to it.

You hate every communist that supports communists and socialists in the real world, calling us all manner of names from “red fash” to “authie” to “tankie” to “Nazi.” The only communists that pass your arbitrary vibe check are the ones that are either short lived or never even got off the ground in the first place, in other words, “pure” communists untainted by the slander coming from Cold Warriors like yourself and devoid of meaningful struggle. You don’t want to acknowledge that you’re an anti-communist, so you try to pretend the group you call “red fash” isn’t the same group that has been fighting for the liberation of all oppressed peoples since Marx himself.

I’ve given my take on the Russo-Ukrainian war before. Here it is again:

Either way, the general Marxist take is that when Yanukovych was offered an IMF loan that required austerity policies and privatization of safety nets, and a Russian loan that did not come with the same restrictions, he went with the Russian loan and was couped for it, including a western-supported Banderite false-flag shooting. Following the western-supported coup, the areas in the Donbass region seceded, as they supported Yanukovych, are culturally and ethnically Russian, and were unhappy with the Banderites taking over the government under the cover of “democracy.” Said Banderites were also legally suppressing the Russian language in the Donbass region.

What ensued was a decade of fighting, 2 failed Minsk agreements that Kiev broke and admitted to never wanting to follow, and massive risk of NATO on Russia’s doorstep. The Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics requested Russian assistance, and Russia complied, sparking the next stage of the war.

Russia purely wants the Donbass region and NATO neutrality. They want the Donbass region not out of the kindness of their hearts, nor for plunder or further expansion, but because it’s a land bridge straight to Russia, the same route the Nazis took in World War II. NATO was building up because the West uses their millitary to threaten countries into opening up their economies to foreign plunder (like what’s happening right now in Venezuela), a tradition employed since NATO was founded, destroyed Yugoslavia and Libya, etc.

This is the common Marxist take, shared largely by PSL’s statement and FRSO’s statement. Essentially, the war is tragic, should end as quickly as possible, and was provoked by the west.

I’ve also explained my take on China and it’s treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang:

The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.

I also recommend reading the UN report and China’s response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.

Tourists go to Xinjiang all the time. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn’t going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.

Here are my answers to your rabid anti-communist Cold Warrior nonsense. Every time I respond to you, though, you’re incapable of actually answering, and instead either leave the thread or get banned for telling me or others that you want to kill them. I don’t expect this will be any different.
