So in other words, you have no idea what you're talking about. Why then do you feel to being able to declare your understanding of the matter above that of communists?
99,9% of all communists are "tankies"...
And leave that PCM bullshit out of here. authority is a tool, it depends on who it is wielded by and against. There is no such thing as a anti-authoritarian revolution.
That was a strategical alliance with anti war-people. Schwarzer may be a TERF, but she also is very much against the war in Ukraine. Ironically her gossip magazine was one of the few outlets that let critical german officers speak. Who unsuprsingly said that the war was basically unwinnable for Ukraine and that further escalation being a very stupid idea.
As for the AfD, they're nationalists. With a shitload of neolibs. This can mean them having lots of immensly bad people, but also some with decent opinions on some topics. Overall, horrible party tho.
has been losing a lot of votes since Sarah Wagenknecht went crazy.
Sorry, but Sarah did not go crazy. The new leadership of the party basically threw every pro-worker position over board and replaced it with liberal idpol bullshit in a cheap attempt to become the next Grüne/Bündnis 90. This predictably failed, because the orginal already exists and people at the existence minimum tend to be kind apathetic (at best) towards idpol.
The massive loss of votes happened before Sarah said anything. She then correctly pointed outt he mistakes of the party leadership, which ignored her (at best, demonization was more common), which led to a continuation of the downwards trend.
I hope the party splits soon, those radlibs in the current Linke ruined it.
Exactly. People forget that "Special Military Operation" does not mean "anything goes, get mah warcrime gun". In other words, the SMO indeed is not the same as a declared war.
Even more unrealistic. Ukraninian pilots are not trained for either, and handling a jet well enough to fight in it takes even longer than with a tank. Furthermore, support equipment for western jets does not exist in Ukraine. Nor do doctrines to use them. Romania switched to F-16 years ago and they admit to not being nearly finished with integrating them.
The spartans were scared shitless of arming their slaves.
Slaves were not really used in war until the early middle ages, because during war you need discipline and reliability in your troops. Slaves tend to fuck off.
In the middle ages, islamic realms used warrior slaves, first the Ghulams, then the Mamluks, then the Janniseries. They were kept reliable by good treatment, a fostered elite culture of their formations and religious incentives. Always worked for a while, then the slave solders took over and cut the middle man.
Yes, NATO must do something! Give that guy a kit, and airdrop him over russian lines.
