It is probably necessary, after all, to formulate what I think about the situation. So as not to mislead people.
1. I am a pacifist. I believe that war is the worst thing that can happen to people, nature and culture.
But I'm not such a naive hippie to think that at least one war can be stopped by putting flowers in the muzzles of guns. The root of all wars without exception is the exploitation of workers and until it is finished, there will be wars. Therefore, the best fight for peace is Red agitation.
2. Pacifism is the understanding that it is impossible to bomb anyone at all. Neither black, nor yellow, nor white, nor even purple speckled. If you think that Kiev is by no means impossible to bomb, but Donetsk is a little bit possible, you are not a pacifist, you are a real fascist.
Therefore, I have never supported and will not support "stopthewar!" crowds. Precisely because they are too selective.
3. I am a communist. I will not dream of challenging the correctness of Lenin and Marx even in a terrible dream.
"Proletarians of all countries, unite!" - the wisest and most saving motto in the world.
But, forgive my cynicism, dead proletarians cannot unite. None of the mentally and morally healthy people wanted war. It was imposed on us. And if we want to see the Motherland free from the shackles of capitalism, free and prosperous, first of all it must be preserved. Save human lives, preserve common sense and humanity.
There is cannot be anything good in war. This is a catastrophe, that has happened to all of us through the fault of the world oligarchies, who have become mad from impunity. They are our common enemy, and we have all become hostages of the situation. This is important to understand.
4. People have indigenous, primordial ideas about bad and good, honest and dishonest, worthy and unworthy. Let the liberals agitate as much as they like, but most normal people have courage and perseverance that arouse respect, and their love for the Motherland is inextricably linked with their willingness to defend it, if necessary, with weapons in their hands.
You can't take that out of people. Yes, and these holy feelings and concepts are used for their nefarious purposes by capitalists (And they themselves have only one "homeland" - their money purse). But to believe that people deliberately go to war "for the oligarch's yacht" is the same as to believe that man take money with him for a walk on purpose in order to be robbed.
Criminals generally do not usually ask the victim if he wants to be attacked by them. And capitalists don't care if people want to be exploited by them.
They FORCE them. Therefore, I do not consider the opinion that ordinary soldiers and front-line officers, as well as civilians, who sincerely support the army of their native country, are responsible for the imperialist essence of the conflict to be correct.
In general, a person can only be responsible for what he can personally control. But if a particular person in his own, if I may say so, war site, sold his conscience, did not remain a human - yes, he is a criminal. And it should be treated accordingly.
Therefore, I will never say a single bad word about russian soldiers, who are just doing their duty. Despite my pacifism. Despite the fact that deep down I really love Ukraine, which for me personally was, is and will be the country of Oleg Koshevoy and Vladimir Pravik, and not Bandera and Shukhevichi. The latter are just scum, and scum has no nationality and it is the same everywhere.
I dream that both republics will be freed as soon as possible from capitalist oppression and market dope. But to do this, they must first survive.
Something like that.
If we are covered by a tsunami, we have to swim. Even if you hated swimming all your previous life.
And, alas, no one really knows what will happen tomorrow.
But I would like to think, that there is still be a new October Revolution.
