I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to articulate to people that this conflict isn’t just “Russia bad, Ukraine good” and that Ukraine is riddled with Nazis and is a NATO proxy being supported largely by the US.

I’ve gotten a couple of responses, one of them being “I strongly believe Ukraine is currently the best and strongest military in the world, their advances in weaponry are incredible and they were able to defend themselves properly even now that the US has abandoned them”.

I don’t think this is true at all, I think maybe the West is just arming and funding them to continue the pressure on Russia and also tried to explain what Nazis they are, to which I mostly got “this isn’t relevant”.

I would love more credible, proper, Marxist resources that I could read and counter them more properly next time on these matters, the Prolewiki article is nice, but it isn’t enough to de-brainwash these people and doesn’t provide me with enough language.

    Ukraine is currently the best and strongest military in the world

    they’re just a bunch of nazis in the high command, and lots of scammed mercenaries, forced conscripts and wasted money by NATO in a mental masturbation of russia being like the USSR and “it needs to be stopped” because they need to submit to a senile pedophile to defend “freedom” of being attacked with tariffs and threats of invasion of the US, local nazi parties doing dirty stuff and economies and ecosystems crashing down with data center-friendly policies

    maybe the West is just arming and funding them to continue the pressure on Russia

    not maybe…IT IS, but why?
