  • What kind of negotiated end?

    Would it be Russia’s initial demands, say:

    1. Ukraine (and perhaps US, UK, and EU) recognize Russian sovereignty the 4 oblasts and Crimea?
    2. demilitarization of Ukraine—say reduce the size of their military to <20%?
    3. “de-nazification”—say Zelenskyy resigns and never hold office again, dissolve AB, and have parliamentary elections with none of the incumbents, and banned parties restored.
    4. never to join NATO, ally with a NATO-member (at least not without Russian permission), and perhaps not join EU?

    Would a majority Ukrainians be okay with that? Would 25% of them be okay with that?











  • How do Marxists see the USSR, China under Mao, Hoxhua, North Korea, Pol Pot, and Sendero Luminoso?

    Let me guess:

    USSR and Mao generally good, particularly given circumstances; Hoxhua who?; North Korea better than South Korea (and PRC even today is better than ROC); Pol Pot wasn’t a true Scotsman; and you like at least a few RATM songs.
