EDIT due to the recent feedback of @AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml
There are three important context that needs to be understood here:
-
There is currently an antifascist war going on Ukraine.
-
Both groups in the picture are fighting this war provoked by NATO.
-
The saying “History doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes” means that events may not occur again in exactly the same way but there often are enough similarities to make it seem like a spot of deja vu. The similarity here is with the Second world war which in Russia is called the Great Patriotic War.
If you all need more information regarding any of these, please refer to AnarchoBolshevik sub c/capitalismInDecay or this sub.
This post is to remind everyone that the Russian SMO and the Ukraine war are antifascist.
No, we shouldn’t support Russia, but Russian victory would be significantly more beneficial (or rather less harmful) for communist movements worldwide.
On the contrary, we should critically support Russia. Russia at this moment in time is fighting an antifascist anti imperialist war against West’s NATO forces. NATO are the ones that prop a big army full fascists from all over the world including Latin America to invade and kill Russians.
As for the benefit, it is really a lot. The Ukraine war is draining plenty of fascists milicia and resources that will not be used to harass communist organizations, indigenous people, activists and so much more. If you are a westerner, you probably won’t see this due to the intense anti russian propaganda and pro NATO war that are currently pushing but in the Global South we are seeing plenty of benefits.
Fascist logos in the Ukraine army including the International mercernaries have abundant logos like this one:
