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?

Difference is, Russia is not imperialist, so it is not an interimperialist war but a national bourgeoisie country resisting the global imperial hegemon (which didn't exist yet in the time Lenin wrote that book), so it would also require reading Stalin's later clarifications and Mao's about contradictions.

Seriously, Lenin would be furious if he knew all those dogmatics interpret his work totally ignoring the conditions.

Thank you for the sources, i'll be sure to check them out. I'm still new to reading theory and all that.
