Putin has and still is committing cruel, evil, disgusting atrocities against humanity why would I support that. Listen to yourself you sound silly. Its possible to be against the West while also being against Putin, you just have to evolve your thinking.
NATOs other purpose is to stop socialism/communism from existing and emerging anywhere, unjustifiably. The Soviet Union wasn’t going to take over Europe, that was a lie created by the US and others. The US was the aggressor during the Cold war working overtime to sabotage any socialist nation because of “freedoms” and “democracy.”
Russia has been a capitalist country since the fall of the USSR (goal accomplished I guess) but the West has still wanted to destroy them even before the Ukraine conflict. Yes what Russia is doing is wrong and they need to be stopped, but also the US, EU, and NATO.
I’m in no way supporting Russia or Republicans when I say this but NATO since its inception has been used for Western imperialist goals and establishing US global hegemony, so in no way do I support its existence anymore
Both are still bad though, and progressivism shouldn’t just be an ideal it should be action and resistance against the status quo. The Democrats and their Neoliberalism is harmful. Maybe not as bad as Conservativism, but also still bad.
Illegal in the sense that the current Cuban government sees it as an illegal occupation under international law. The 1903 treaty that practically gave the US Guantánamo Bay hasn’t been recognized by Cuba since 1959. Unethical in the sense that it’s in violation of Cuban sovereignty, and the human rights abuses.
I’m currently reading Blackshirts & Reds and will also read others from your reading list. It’s an amazing book and it’s helping deprogram the US propaganda that I’ve been taught all my life and teaching me new things/ideas. I’m new to socialism/communism, even though I’ve been adjacent to it the last several years so I appreciate you making the list!
I turned 18 before the general election in 2016 but I regrettably didn’t vote. A couple years later I became a big Bernie supporter and voted for him in 2020. He’s the only genuine politician I can think of that makes sense.
