    The Word Socialist website is supporting Chinese propaganda, including Beijing’s aggression against Taiwan, and they support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

      Unfortunately their bias is being served by what appear to be very credible accusations of warcrimes by British special forces.

      Yes, and I support Russia’s Special Military Operation as I am not a big fan of Nazis.

      WSWS has an okay MBFC Credibility Rating.

        Will you tankies ever not prove yourselves insane?

        Just once, I want to interact with a tankie who breaks the stereotypes and the mold. Just a bit.

          Seriously. I can kinda get along with the general concept of communism/socialism - wealth should belong to the people who do the actual work and no one should have to struggle.

          But then these insane people support the worst dictators murdering innocent people and try to pretend it’s justified. Absolute trash people.

              I would like to think it’s most of them. After all, how awesome would it be to catch the people escaping the social media platforms that are drifting right by creating one or two new ones? No guarantees of success, but it’s still something, and you’d quietly have control of it to slowly push them whatever direction might be handy.

        Russian’s military has just as many and likely significantly more Nazis than Ukraine’s. So shouldn’t you support neither side?

        Or is it the Russian Nazis are okay right now because they are fighting against the Western Nazis?

          There is a difference between institutionalized Nazis in Ukraine and extremist elements within Russia.

          Ukraine’s Azov Battalion was made an official part of Ukraine’s National Guard in 2014 and by now, has become a premier unit in Ukraine’s military. Stepan Bandera is treated as a national hero in Ukraine. Bandera’s birthday is a national holiday.

          To use someone else’s analogy, this would be like if the KKK was promoted to a premier unit in the US military, and Nathan Bedford Forrest was treated as a national hero, with his birthday becoming a national holiday.

        Oh come on, you don’t really believe that Nazi shit, do you? That is beyond transparent and dumb and … FFS, it just pisses me off that people can be THAT dumb.

        And you still call a multi year wat a “special operation”? I thought even Putin stopped calling it that, too obviously bullshit, but apparently there are still IQs out there measured i shoe sizes.

        That the thought entered your head is one thing, but that it left your mouth (well fingers) is just shamefully stupid.

      No, this was an illegal, unofficial policy enacted by the special forces themselves and covered up by their superiors. The reason that we’re hearing about it now is because of a BBC investigative report which has led to an official inquiry.

        Well murder is, by definition, an unlawful killing. So yes.

        Agents of the government were engaged in unlawful killing of people for the crime of being male (and non-white, as other commenter pointed out), involving a significant conspiracy.

        We’ll see what sort of punishment they receive for their crimes, if convicted.

      Silly you, it’s not a crime being male. It’s a crime being non white (and male).

        The article also cites a cover-up of an incident where they killed women and kids. They gave the murderer an award to make it look legitimate.

        Non-white would seem to be the primary factor here, in that proud Anglo-American tradition.
