The weird, sinister, shadowy and utterly erratic US pseudo-Trotskyist groupuscule "Spartacist League" pretends to be dual defeatists in the war between Russia and the Ukraine, but look at the fine print!
>>>To present the war as imperialist is to throw sand in the eyes of the workers. Should NATO or any imperialist power directly enter this war, it would be an obligation for any revolutionary to side militarily with Russia for the defeat of the imperialists, the main bulwark of capitalist reaction internationally. This is precisely the task which is rejected by those who agitate about “Russian imperialism.”>>>
There it is, after all these years. Not a workers´ government, but a Czar! Or at least a president for life...
"NATO/EU aggression provokes war in Ukraine"

The Sparts must think LDNR is a mini-deformed workers´ state, and that Russia is a savegely deformed ditto by dint of Gazprom and Rosatom being somehow government-controlled. These guys would probably defend an "Asiatic" mode of production against mixed economy capitalism...
ReplyDeleteSince they don´t believe the working class will ever listen to their propaganda, they first fantisized about the USSR somehow bringing "the revolution" to the West, and now project those fantasies on Russia. OK, maybe not a revolution, but at least some kind of revenge for the Sparts never ever getting anywhere in their "union work", whatever.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Marx would have said about this? He would probably have pointed to the "progressives" on the pay roll of Napoleon III, and to the long history of Russian diplomacy corrupting "enlightened liberals" in the West...
ReplyDeleteThe Sparts, the neo-Sparts and the Nimp faction of the paleo-Sparts are on the same side as the Russian Orthodox Church and the de facto emperors of China and North Korea, ha ha ha. What a travesty.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine Trotsky siding with the Patriarch of Moscow in the heartland of Russian Czarism? Not me neither!
ReplyDeleteNobody should be surprised, these utterly irrelevant sectarian groups sided with the Red-Brown bloc during the 1990´s, so of course they side with Putin today.
ReplyDeleteIf Russia goes Nazbol, the show will be even more hilarious. Imagine "Trotskyists" siding with literal Nazis! But, of course, the Stalinists can´t complain this time, since they would probably have a pop front with the Nazbolz...
ReplyDeleteFake "Trots" and real Stalinists killing each other over who is going to get the Naz franchise, absolutely hilarious, should it be "a military united front" or a "people´s patriotic front"?
ReplyDeleteMy rubles are definitely on the Stalinists in that dog fight...
