Keep digging: no insight.; the UNSC veto - defended by you by insisting on the "right" to make war -  is a license to murder,  maintaining the "right" to slaughter children deemed by you not to conform to your own self-interest. Sheer irrationality and evil. 

And you are bleating about "slavery", to avoid seeing the evil of your own delusional ideology.   

The US is now all in.

The US now intends to aid Ukrainians in their campaign to expel Russia entirely from Ukraine, including from Crimea.

NATO and Europe will soon follow.

India, having seen images from Bucha, has now resolved to condemn Russia for its war of aggression and appears prepared to forgo Putin's offer of cheap gas and oil in favour of joining the massive world support for Ukraine.

The CCP must decide now whether it will continue with yet another catastrophic mistake, or break from its long tradition of making them, and support the war effort to expel Russia from Ukraine.

Putin promoted Chechen leader Kadyrov to lieutenant general

Ramzan Kadyrov was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. General Kadyrov has promised to continue the operation against NATO mercenaries.

You are bleating about the "slavery" of the Chinese people, while at the same you are claiming the "right" to wage war, to 'defend' your irrational "freedom" ideology  - irrational because "rights" don't exist in nature, they have to be invented by men, and the "right" you insist on ie to wage war - is the ultimate destroyer of life, because all nation's have their own point of view....never mind the ongoing slaughter of children in all wars.    

And I don't know what that has to do with whether I claim to be Marxist or not.

Yes, but Leninism/Stalinism was NOT envisioned by Marx.

Quote:


But 'socialism' did after WW2, eg, in the NHS.

Ok, I'll let that paragraph  stand, for the sake of the argument. But the CCP is evolving rapidly into a one-party meritocracy, despite your desperate ideological narratives attempting to prove otherwise.   

Quote:


See, bleating about the "slavery" of the Chinese people, while claiming the "right" to wage war - which makes you complicit in the savagery in Ukraine.

Waste of time explaining to blind ideologues, but the vestigial human reptilian brain - seat of nature's unconscious survival instincts honed over eons, manifests itself in the aggregate in our governments demanding the "right" to wage war.

Borders don’t exist in nature and are invented by men. Would the CCP allow Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Hong Kong to separate from China? Or would it claim the right to wage war on them as it does with Taiwan? Or arrogate to itself the right to commit atrocities on civilians as it does in Xinjiang?
Nations are human inventions, or does China not really exist?

The CCP arbitrarily slaughters and disappears those it calls its own citizens; as we’ve seen many times now through the hundreds of leaked videos from the CCP’s hellhole.

I can see through your doublespeak on ‘sovereign’ and ‘freedom’. You’re not really referring to individuals (a term you use less and less). You’re referring to ethnicities within China having no sovereign rights, or rights to freedom from the CCP, other than the CCP’s perversion of Han Chinese ethnic sovereign rights, in the name of whom it claims the freedom to take whatever it wants from whomever it wants.

Marx and Engels were both driven to propose communism as a direct result of witnessing the slavery of the British working class in the 19th century. You, on the other hand, prefer to think of the slavery of some as an artifact of the human condition.

And yet Leninism / Stalinism / Maoism were the inevitable catastrophes of communism that the last 100+ years have proved.

Quote:


Democratic socialism is not totalitarian socialism.

Quote:


The CCP is currently rapidly devolving back to a Maoist totalitarian dictatorship, which was no different from the dynastic rule of China’s mad emperors.

Putin is trying to pull off the same devolution in Ukraine, which will soon see him removed from power.

Autocratic rule cannot allow meritocracy; there’s always the chance the meritocrat might disrupt the otherwise unchallengeable hierarchy. The CCP is more a kleptocratic / oligarchical, nepotistic autocracy, just a continuation of the old Chinese imperial dynasties with fewer silk robes and ponytails.

But then, you’re a prostitute to the CCP so, while servicing your masters, it’s probably best for you to just lie back and think of the party.

Soooo... what part did the UNSC veto play in Russia invading Ukraine?

If you want the savagery of war to cease, you must stop supporting those who use it.... I'm not responsible for Russia invading Ukraine and accept no such responsibility... only a free person can make that decision for him or her self.

Your nonsensical comment about 'crocodile tears for all the maimed children' is just that - nonsense.

What is YOUR immediate proposal to end the fighting in Ukraine, Yemen and Syria?  How do you feel about the Israelis killed in recent attacks?  What about China and the idea of taking over Taiwan?
