  Just a point of clarification: you think the USSR was a far-right regime?

    They didn’t say the USSR, they said modern day China and Russia

      See, this is exactly what I mean by “I understand them so little that they must be the opposition in disguise”

      If you tried at all, youd understand that they’re position on “modern day Russia and China” is based on the idea of critical support. They evaluate policy decisions against “does this bring the working class closer to solidarity or not”.

      I.e. on the Ukraine war, their position is basically “U.S. Involvement in any war is a net-negative to worker solidarity in the country of question”. None there support Russia’s invasion, but they think Americas involvement spells the end of any socialist coalition to begin with.

      But again, “I understand them so little they must be a part of the opposition”. They have a different (definitively leftist) understanding of the war than you do. Doesn’t make them right-wing.

        They evaluate policy decisions against “does this bring the working class closer to solidarity or not”.

        When it comes to Russia bombing their cities and raping their women and children, is that positively or negatively influencing working class solidarity?
