Thomas,
I see it as you do—between the “peace” of Trump/Putin and the “Peace” in the European style, I prefer the former, as a socialist world cannot exist with the latter option…
My personal position is that I do not promote Trump’s peace. What I do not support is the continuation of this bloody war, nor do I take any side. If peace were achieved, it would be better than the death of our fellow Russian and Ukrainian brothers in class.

This is a Trotsky group but some view points are like your organization.
My position is the same as your party’s: I am against all capitalist wars. And although I know that Trump’s reasons are not the same as mine, this fratricide must end. We know that as long as capitalism exists, wars will exist, but that does not mean we should be in favor of peace.
This is the problem here in the United States: now the issue is Trump, and we divert attention from the fact that the real problem is capitalism.
The ruling classes are not bothered when we individualize the system. What they would truly fear is if we said:
No more global capitalism!
Socialists and class-conscious workers understand that Trump’s pacifism is strategic and that he represents the sectors of capitalists who want to focus on China. At this moment, he seeks to align with Russia as a counterbalance to China and in the regions where they have influence, etc. However, for our brothers in Ukraine and Russia, this peace—at least for now—is better than the continuation of this massacre.

I don’t know, I always think it’s better to have a president who says things as they are, without the hypocrisy that Democrats in the United States always have. And I believe that in all capitalist countries, there’s one who plays with a heavy hand and another who hits you with a silk glove.
If the so-called left in this country continues to focus only on the individual Trump and not on this profit-driven system, which is the root of the world’s problems.

“I always read your comments, and I also follow an organization, the World Socialist Web, since the invasion of Ukraine. Through this group, there is a tendency to take sides with Russia, and they always give the impression of an imminent nuclear war. Through you, I see a more realistic analysis—that capitalists are not going to destroy their wealth to live in bunkers during a nuclear war. Your perspective is that both sides are fighting for the interests of their own ruling classes.
I was very disappointed to see Richard Wolff and another so-called Marxist focus only on the decline of U.S. dominance and view China’s rise as something positive. Even worse, some still believe that China is socialist when it never has been.”
