The Pro-Putin Left

i found myself at the Monthly Review website today and they've gone full-bore pro-russia, pro-china, pro-assange, all the problems of the world are down to US/NATO imperialism. they weren't always like this. jfc.

I'm getting the pro-China thing coming up on my SM from the pro-Putin crowd, I hadn't noticed it before. Saying the Uyghar oppression is a myth, just an excuse for the USA to get stuck into China.

Yeah, that's pretty common among some of that crowd. There's been some stuff written about it and who is pushing that and why, and where their money is coming from. Can't recall where now.

Anyone got any idea just how small (or large) the Stop the War Coalition demos were at the weekend? From the pictures I have seen there would seem to have been a very low turnout indeed.

This is probably what you are thinking of. A lot of the misinformation about Xinjiang circulating left wing media is funded by Roy Singham, a billionaire tech magnate with ties to Huawei and extensive commercial interests within China (and also a lot of political connections).

This is certainly interesting and I'm not doubting the claims of the article, but I do feel I don't know enough about that website.

I would imagine they probably weren't massive, especially since there were other things going on that weekend, so their appeal would be limited to either people who would be prepared to prioritise StW stuff over rail strike stuff, or people who had enough time and energy to do both.

Yeah, seeing ARR's name doesn't entirely fill me with confidence in 2022... from a quick look, here's their about page:
Here's the about page of the thinktank they're linked to:

Seem like liberals, basically? Or the kind of vaguely centrist-leaning liberals that the grayzone crowd are always getting into endless tedious wars with?
 
A certain sort of Argentinian is supporting pootin because he's claiming Ukraine is like the war the British declared on argentina🙄.
Hopefully a defeat followed by a democratic regime and military irrelevance no more trident yay.
China will be to busy point nukes in our direction hopefully
 
Finally a topic i admire. This is will my 3rd topic in your happy forum. Remember these are just my views and to contain your emotions. But i been speaking with Russians and i been given telegram links to the Russian military. There is a obsessed russian on telegram who provides updated information on the special operation inside ukraine. And thankfully Russia is winning the war. Many towns and cities have been liberated and taken from the nazis

I was just going to ignore you, but instead I'm going to ask you politely to go and fuck yourself. You're obviously just a provocateur with no intention of engaging in any kind of worthwhile discussion. Simplistic. Ignorant. Pompous. And those are your good points.
