I've tried to search for opinions on what's going on in Ukraine, but most posts are incredibly old. I'm not too educated on the matter myself (well, aside from keeping up most of the time with what cities are under whose control and all of that). I haven't really heard much about the geopolitical side of things, and it's hard to know what's disinfo or not; That's why I'd like to ask: What is your stance on the Ukraine war?

It’s the task of the workers in the West to dismantle NATO and Western Imperialism

Ok go do that. Let us know how it works out.

The US working class benefit too much from the empire to overthrow it. Material conditions must be further degraded to get popular support for revolution. The war is lowering material condition for the working class in the EU and USA.

It is also raising the prospects for the working class in the global south. BRICS+ is giving them more bargaining power. Many imperialist collaborator governments will likely resist the new prospects increasing chances of revolutions in the global south. For decades socialist revolutions were put down by western hegemony but with their capability eroded by the war and the rise of the Sino-Russian alliance the west no longer has carte blanche to meddle.

All this points to the war being a boon for socialists and furthering the path towards revolution in multiple nations. The longer it goes on the bigger the benefits.
