Why Operation Z is a victory for class struggle: it’s shrunk the imperial sphere’s extractive reach - eviltoast
Whether you view Russia’s decision a year ago to intervene in Ukraine as correct from an anti-imperialist perspective depends on which metric you’re using in your strategic calculus. When one is only looking at the events from inside the imperialist benefactor countries, and the eastern European countries where Nazi nostalgia has created support for Ukrainian fascism, Operation Z’s impacts appear to be overall positive for the forces of reaction. When you look at the wider context, and account for the events from the wider globe, it’s obvious that Z’s impacts have been overall positive for the revolutionary forces. And that Z therefore is historically progressive in character.

      I have had a similar sense about the KPRF, without allowing myself judgement as I don’t know a lot.

      I just want add that no side in this conflict fights against the oppression of the working class.

      The future for working class parties/movements in Ukraine looks grim too with leftist parties banned and US capital picking up the reins

      I don’t know where you’ve been getting your information about the KPRF from but it’s not accurate.

          I was curious, but didn’t find a lot. Did you have a specific page in mind?

          I only found this paragraph where they are talking about their willingness to ally with “anti-globalists”

          In seeking to promote social-class and national-liberation struggle the CPRF is aware that it has real and potential political allies. These are the parties and non-governmental associations of the left, socialist end of the spectrum, and progressive patriotic movement. They include the trade unions, workers’, peasants’, women’s, veterans’, youth, religious, educational, creative, environmental, antiglobalist and other non-governmental organizations. All those who care about the working people and fight against the enslavement of Russia, those who have not tarnished their names by appeasing the disastrous course of the ruling regime. The communists respect their right to hold their own views and do not impose their own views on them. But in the course of dialogue and interaction with them they do not believe that they have to hide their firm conviction that protection of the national-state interests of Russia today blends with the struggle for socialism and the Soviet forms of rule by the people. We are sure that life will prove us right
