The words refer to revolutionary defeatism, a concept that the Bolsheviks used to oppose Russia's war internally during the first world war. Logically, it extends to the same meaning in context to this war.
Except on the 18th of this month the DSA and communist parties of the US, alongside fucking code pink, which still confuses the fuck out of me, ALSO held a rally where they espoused kremlin talking points like Ukrainians are all nazis and Russia was justified against nato expansion. They too held a big russian tricolor in the middle of their parading.
On top of that, myself and fellas of nafo have had to bear the stupidity of countless tankies simping for russia, and i've lost count of the number of times they accused us all of working for the CIA.
IF you're one of the socialists opposing russia and not simultaneouslycontradicting yourself by shouting "west bad too", thank you. But you're in the minority of the movement atm. So if I see people espousing socialist bs and with signatures like that, imma mock and ridicule their shit.
Give me a citation on that. The CPUSA barely does anything anymore, just supports Democrat candidates. DSA only supports Democrat candidates and is otherwise useless. Ukraine has had a problem with neo nazis in the military, that is fact. But I severely doubt any of these groups believe Russia is justified. Provoked? Maybe, they are Americans of course and innately believe imperialism can be justified so not surprising. And also citation on the Russian tricolor flag(I will show it to my friends and we will laugh again at the American left if you can provide it).
What's nafo? And as a person with deep ties to "tankie" organisations and parties across Europe thanks to union activism, "tankies" generally hold the belief that Russia is a capitalist nation and thus must be opposed, same as the US in their imperial shenanigans. Maybe due to your own bubble, that is simply the type of "tankie" you see? Those types have been purged and removed of most left-wing circles, and now identify as patsocs. There's also maga-communists who are a joke.
I am not the minority. There are millions of socialists and communists globally who see Russia's invasion in the same light as the US' invasions of exploited nations. The situation might be different in the US where your internet left-wingers are basically mini celebrities, but the rest of the global socialists stick to the writing in stone; imperialism is imperialism.
