    Nitpick time!

    First link - he says Marxism (not ML) and recommends it to those who want to "understand life" whatever that means.

    Second link - after hearing ML takes foremost place, Lukashenko asks "So what, are you going backwards?" seemingly suggesting ML is a thing of the past. The lady explains that mainstream economic theories don't apply to Belarus because they have a heavily regulated economy - which is a strange thing to say for a Marxist cause describing how capitalism functions is kinda the main thing.

    Finally as other said, fuck Dugin with a rake.

    I think they put sunflower and watermelon there because those foods are part of a Ukrainian stereotype. Probably just tongue-in-cheek support for Ukraine, kinda like imagine a black activist putting "✊🍗➕🍉" in their bio.

    You and CommieWolf are both wrong about the name lol.

    Семён (pronounced syeh-MYON) is the Russian version of this name, see Semyon Budyonny for instance.

    This guy however was Ukrainian so his name was Семен (pronounced seh-MEN), and it's correctly romanised to Semen.

    Also his surname Гитлер would be romanised to Gitler had he been Russian, but as a Ukrainian it's romanised to Hitler due to how Г is pronounced in Ukrainian language.

    He also wrote a book about how revolution was a Jewish plot and Bolsheviks were all Jews who wanted to destroy Russia and Russians, so I wouldn't give any credence to anything he wrote.

    You are completely misinformed.

    First of all "kulaks" were not working peasants who lived self-sufficiently off farming their land and raising their livestock, you are thinking of "serednyaks", the class below kulaks in the 4-tier rural class system of Imperial Russia. Kulaks were rural loan sharks and land owners who did not work but rather lived off extortionate interest rates from loans to "serednyaks" and from exploiting the labour of "bednyaks" (literally "the poor") and, mainly, the seasonal labour of "batraks" who were the class below "the poor" - many of them homeless, traveling from village to village and working quite literally for a bit of food and a place to sleep in the barn.

    If you intend to keep talking publically about kulaks, do look into those classes, look up who batraks were and what kind of life they lead before the revolution, the mortality, the diseases, how many they were compared to the number of kulaks. Find out what dekulakisation brought not only for kulaks, but also for that huge number of serednyaks, bednyaks, and batraks they exploited. Find out what dekulakisation did to overall child mortality, child hight, life expectancy, and so on.

    Second, kulaks were not murdered, they were eliminated as an economic class by removing the relataionship of exploitation. Their lands were taken and given to the people, and the ones who resisted were deported with their families.

    she is literally responding to people today, in the context of modern Ukraine’s avowed Nazism

    no? the post is about WW2 and they end it with "None of this relates to current geopolitical issues"

    Ukrainian superstate, and not a breakdown of its nations

    There’s Ukraine, and there’s “Ukraine”.

    what are you smoking mate? no there's just Ukraine.

    regions of Ukraine speaking Russian language to different extent doesn't mean Ukraine is made up of several nations

    are parts of Ireland where English is mainly spoken actually England to you?

    But now you’re guilty of the same omission. Where is your mention of the Banderites etc.?

    Existence of Banderites is irrelevant to the question of whether Ukraine as a whole can be considered a victim of Nazi Germany.

    10 million Ukrainians were killed by Nazis, 2.5 millions were enslaved, 5 million served in the Red Army. Compare that to ~200 thousand or so Wehrmacht collaborators.

    Don't let neonazis rewrite history.

    Here they seem to conflate the Red Army with Russians which is deeply ignorant and ahistorical:

    https://x.com/ShoahUkraine/status/1710502497285177472

    Many people have asked me why I sound like I admire the Red Army. Well, why wouldn't I admire the Red Army? 90% of world Jewry wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for the sacrifices they made! More Russians died in the defense of Stalingrad than the total British and American deaths combined for the entire war!

    While Ukrainians, Latvians, Romanians, Lithuanians, etc., were enthusiastic about serving their German masters and rounding up Jews, it was the Red Army that, at great cost to themselves, defeated this Nazi evil.

    Russians only constituted 2/3 of the Red Army, which also included millions of Ukrainians, hundreds of thousands of Balts, and plenty of other nationalities: https://imgur.com/a/mCyl1

    Just as there were Russians, Belarrussians, and other Soviets eagerly serving Nazis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaboration_in_the_German-occupied_Soviet_Union

    (Edit) Another pearl from them, addressing Ukraine as a whole:

    Let me make this clear: You were not victims of the Third Reich. You did not suffer just as Jews or Soviet POWs. You pledged allegiance to Hitler and were the perpetrators in mass genocides! And we will not let you rewrite history and play as if you were the victims!

    This is asinine. Nazis viewed Ukrainians as subhumans only fit for slavery and extermination. Vast majority of Ostarbeiters, slaves sent to Nazi Germany from Eastern Europe, were Ukrainians, millions of them. Millions more were killed, Ukraine losses were immense.

    Ukraine is one of the primary victims of the Third Reich, along with Belarussia.

    No, I think if the title is sarcastic, what they meant was that not all Ukrainians are Banderites, for instance the ones who hid Jewish children in caves to save them from the SS were not Banderites.

    I support the CPC. Heard this accusation recently: China takes part in imperialist plunder by outsourcing all labour intensive tasks to poorer countries to exploit cheap labour, and only the final assembly is done in China anymore. What is our party line on that? Edit: thank you all for the answers! I'm far from being an economist and don't feel confident enough to immediately demand sources something might well be a common knowledge. I was now given this source: https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/74902/1/dp205.pdf In particular: >more than half of China’s export value in 2005 corresponds to that of imported inputs that are merely assembled in China. >only thirty four percent of the value of China’s processing exports in 2005 was domestic content, while the other two thirds corresponded to the value of the imported inputs. >in the high-tech category, it consistently amounts to approximately 90 percent of total high-tech exports

    >On Sunday, the Ukrainian army fired at least four American-made Army Tactical Missile System precision rockets at NIP-16. Fires raged at the site through the night, and Planet satellite imagery from Monday seems to depict blast marks on the ground at the sprawling base. > >Scientists surely would cringe at any damage to NIP-16 and its suite of hard-to-replace scientific instruments. Thousands of Soviet naval conscripts built the installation at a time when governments were pouring massive resources into space exploration.

    Not sure where to post this so hoping here is fine. A bit disappointed in BTN for calling Dugin "a very esteemed Russian political philosopher"... Just yesterday learned Rainer Shea is now collaborating with Caleb Maupin which was really disappointing cause Shea had some good anti-imperialist articles. I really didn't need to hear this on BTN. Not sure what answers I'm looking for, I guess I'm getting paranoid about third positionist infiltration and need to hear your thoughts.

    What sources can I link to people who trust Wikipedia on history and politics, particularly about AES and imperialism? Thank you!
