    Right, from Marxist perspective we have to consider class. Democracy is reserved for the class that holds power in society, and under capitalism it’s the capital owning class.

      Of course.

      Anyway, back to the main topic, the article is bizarre, but also a bit of a bad omen. If someone told me that my biggest supporters were Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco, then I would really doubt what I’m doing. None of these are good people or from good places, so being in Putin’s corner does more harm then good.

        If these were the people exclusively supporting Russia then I’d agree, but the reality is that Russia is supported by all of the Global South including China, Vietnam, and Cuba. What the article is freaking out about is that anti Russian narrative is collapsing in countries traditionally friendly to the west, as well as in US itself.

        • Russia is in a really bizzar spot at the moment, while not being a comrade, they are in a position adversarial to the global north, and are very active in the decline of the west and global north.

            For sure, Russia is at the centre of the global contradiction between the west and the Global South, but we always have to remember that support for Russia should be strictly critical.
