    By nazi country, I meant ruled by nazis. Sorry if that was unclear.

    Even if Ukraine has a “nazi problem” russia’s invasion is nothing but imperialism.

      I appreciate the clarification, the trap of assuming class unity within a country is one that these conversations unfortunately fall into easily.

      I have to ask though, what imperialism means to you. It wasn’t too long ago that most people made fun of communists for using the word, and now it’s a popular word to use but I never see it defined. What’s your understanding of it?

      Also, why do you put nazi problem in quotes, as if to distance yourself from accepting the idea?
