    your bourgeois state needs NATO, not the working ppl living in Poland

    IMO, in an inter-imperialist war a socialis5 from an outside country should support neither side, while a socialist from a country participating in said war should employ revolutionary defeatism towards “their own” bourgeois state

    the answer to a regional imperialist power is not the largest imperialist block in the history of humanity(!)

      being an anarchist (or a working person) doesn’t particularly help with not being forcibly drafted, and neither would Putin care if i told his goons “hey can you not bomb me and my family, you see, i’m an anarchist and this is not my war :)”

      like i get the theory of what you’re saying, but the practice is a bit less wordy and more- bomby. is NATO my ideal version of reality? no, of course not. am i glad it’s a thing as someone living in poland? fuck yes i am. i can’t really work towards helping people realise capitalism bad if i’m dead

        this is not supposed to be a “gotcha” or anything like that

        I’d just like to make you aware that in the sense of preventing invasion from the RF, NATO is kinda redundant, since the EU has a mutual defence clause that would trigger in such a case
