You do not seem capable of modelling the world in sufficient detail for compassion and you should be nowhere near a violence monopoly.
You use the abstraction of russia to include people who are not self identified russians, this boar headedness is dangerous


you would betray them if you punish “russians” collecting a group of people and calling them “russians”, state members, regardless of self identification is nationalistic, you are the nationalist if that is what you do.
“russians betrayed machno”, no it was the bolsheviks, the living bolsheviks alive then, not now


No I do not expect you to show more than they do, but they are not one person, whilst a description of the world might contain a structure of social relations, the notion of nations is a prescription.
You are betraying all of the people who are against the war or are avoiding making themselves into nationalist cogs, your efforts should not be support of sanctions but maintenance of communication with anarchists and growth of horizontal governance both where you are and elsewhere.


Please instead of this, work to maintain worker councils and establish communication between them, in all regions of the world, especially a place like the russian region


Oh but we can go and pretend that all people are like the soldiers too. There are some beautiful people that have the misfortune of being born into the russian polity


Pro eu dogmatism is foolishness, construction of 2 sides is foolish.
Critique of the dear brussels leader is not support of the kremlin.
People should be better than siloing the responsibility for their mind away to some temporary heartless representative.
Ignore the disconnect between people affected by these ham fisted measures and the people that should be punished, strongly including those in the kremlin, and you are abandoning your responsibility to mankind.


So glad the “russian” people will be forced by these sanctions to… elect… a … differ… … oh…


yep, even going as far as to call the russian polity socialist :P


Ok at least this sub isnt as bad as “memes”, where you get banned for anything but leninist cultism
I think kind people should push for regional economic independance or at least verification of its viability and acknowledgement that they are working their fair share.
Then one can be sure that at least from your point of view, the exploited worldwide are free to choose their own fate, and you are not a leech.
Economic independence is a useful tool, in that when one is economically independant, it can also be determined for certain that any external law or force is unjust and not a component of livelyhood.
