Rosa Luxemburg had a better position on the “national question” than Lenin. She denied that “the right to national self-determination” was a socialist slogan but a demand to set up another capitalist state.
Lenin was an opportunist who urged that any discontent should be used to try to bring down the tsarist regime (probably realistically to achieve that limited aim). However, after the Bolsheviks seized power in November 1917 these slogans came back to haunt them as nationalists in Finland, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia etc exercised this “right” — which the Bolshevik government then sought to frustrate.
Even more Rosa Luxembourg demonstrated that Marx stand regarding the national question was absolete
As well, Marxists and socialists do not support the concept of leader and leadership, it was also propagated by Lenin and the Bolsheviks, and it also already existed within the Second International including the concept of the vanguard party to lead. Ironically Lenin said that the Vanguard Party was only a temporary measure applicable to Russia, and his followers continued using the same concept and turned it into a universal conception, similar to the universal concept of the soviets
One NATO country where the population do not support NATO in its war with Russia — as that’s what it has become with the US and its allies openly flooding Ukraine with arms so its proxy forces there can fight more effectively against Russia — is Greece. It is also the one country where Zelensky’s performance before its parliament was a flop as somebody had the bright idea of accompanying it with a video from a Greek-speaking member of the Azov battalion (there is a Greek-speaking minority in the Mariupol area):

It also drew a reaction from local pro-Russia Greek-speakers:

Now, workers should have known who are the real bosses of every government or president that they have elected. There was no money for vaccines, medical services, foods, and infrastructure, but like magic money appears to finance the war in Ukraine. Most of that money given to Ukraine by the USA is a transfer from the resources of the Pentagon, given for political and economic purposes, it is not free
The U.S. Spent 7.5 Times More on Nuclear Weapons Than Global Vaccine Donations
Since the pandemic started, the United States has prioritized funding for nuclear arms and the military over global vaccines.Russians stage fake French atrocity in Mali?
A small indication of the globalisation of the war?
How can they tell from the long-range photos that the soldiers come from the Caucasus? Chechens perhaps?
Only Americans use the word “Caucasian” in a non-geographical context so this could be a double fake !
I do not know if this is fake or real news. Russian soldiers raising the Soviet flag in occupied Ukraine territories
People so naive still, governments too, that they would actually want to survive in the aftermath of a nuclear war, and are taking steps to that end!!!
This makes the lunacy of its likelihood ever scarier!https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/22/how-finland-bunker-mania-made-sense

*fictional country in Aladdin.Following the visit today of the US Secretary of State and Minister of War to Kiev and their statements, it is now patently clear that what is going on in Ukraine is a war against Russia by the US and its allies, particularly Britain, with Ukrainian armed forces as their proxies. A war between one capitalist bloc and another capitalist state. I can’t see how anybody can deny this any more.
There are a bunch of left wings and Leninists organizations that need binocular to be able to see that
The department of state used to be known as the department of wars and its director was the secretary of wars They just changed the name, it is the same dog wearing different collar. In the old days they used the gunboat diplomacy
From the BBC live reports:
“Lavrov: ‘Nato, in essence, is engaged in a war with Russia’
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said deliveries of Western weaponry to Ukraine mean that the Nato alliance is “in essence engaged in war with Russia”.
In an interview aired on Monday, he said: “These weapons will be a legitimate target for Russia’s military acting within the context of the special operation.”
Lavrov also told state television: “Nato, in essence, is engaged in a war with Russia through a proxy and is arming that proxy. War means war.”Meanwhile the US minister of war, Lloyd Austin, had made NATO’s war aims clear:
“US wants to see a weakened Russia”
It leaves you wondering whether this wasn’t its aim from the start.
