      I don’t honestly recall that line, is that from when Jyotishman plays devil’s advocate?

      Anyways I think Joti does a good job of analyzing the geopolitical situation in Europe in terms of Leninism, in particular with reference to Stalin’s Foundations of Leninism, and the question of whether or not national liberation is progressive even if not explicitly socialist. The fight against western imperialism is truly the principal contradiction of our time.

        I should’ve made it more clear. This is not a line from the discussion it’s my parody of the title

        Edit: but after watching some of this video I guess I don’t really understand the whole of this war and where it really came from. I’ll have to learn more I guess

            Might’ve been wrong to question myself there lol. Her argument revolves around “Well Russia was provoked so they’re actually fighting an anti imperialist war” and the predisposition you’ve to have in order to agree with her argument is that you believe most or at least a big part of the official Russian narrative.

            Even if Russia really was provoked and is fighting for it’s own sovereignty (by invading another country? but ok) then it’s still a capitalist nation that’s preying upon the nostalgia of its Soviet past and it’s absolutely not becoming even slightly more communist by the day. Why should I care whether it’s the thirteen colonies or the British empire that wins the American civil war?
