What is the positive outcome of defending an authoritarian regime like Putin’s? I don’t see how that advances socialist goals in any way. I am learning that Zelenskyy and Ukraine are not as good as Western media describes, but I do not see how Putin is better. I’m interested in being part of Lemmygrad.ml, but not if it defends authoritarian regimes especially if they are not working towards socialism/communism. I want to work towards socialist goals, but I do not want to be used as a tool in some authoritarian geopolitical mess. Russia also gives me the impression of being colonialist but I’m not sure if that’s accurate
I know some people are dunking on you here but there are also a lot of good comments on this subject if you wanted to read them.
Try your best to enter the conversation with an open mind, it took me years of deprogramming the imperial propaganda, and the final push was when the imperial core started genociding my own country.
There are still pro-western/imperial arabs and muslims! I talked to them the other day and it was an extremely frustrating conversation but some people do not want to have their minds changed, they just want to argue.
I asked plenty of questions I thought were elementary here and I’ve gotten amazing responses every time, nobody will criticize you as long as you are actually open to learning.
