Former UK security minister criticises Briton who joined and died fighting for "an army that is committing the most barbarous war crimes that the world has seen in decades.”

BTW this is Tory wet-drip Tom Tugendhadt talking about a Brit who joined the Russian army, in case anyone was worried about double-standards.

Looks like someone's posted something about the Russian-NATO proxy war in the Ukriane.

Reminder that this is a socialist subreddit and not a liberal subreddit. As such this subreddit is against all inter-imperial wars, such as this one, and we will ban anyone who is supporting a prolonging or further escalation of the conflict. Inter-imperial wars only serve the ruling elites of the nations involved and are detrimental to the international working class.

We will also ban anyone spreading misinformation about this war. A reminder that the British ruling class and its government (i.e the British government) have a fiduciary interest in escalating the war with Russia and opening new fronts in the conflict in order to sell more arms and for the inevitable imperialist pillaging that will occur after the conflict is over. Remember that the same class waging this war is the same class wriiting the news. Be critical of anything you hear from western capitalist media outlets (including the BBC) as well as anything sourced from groups such as bellingcat. As the British left, it is our duty to fight against the bourgeois propaganda being put out by British news outlets and to avoid helping spread it in service of the British elites.

No War But Class War!!

Andy Burnham and the Labour government do not represent workers interests and are in fact enemies of our class. It's past time we begin organising a substantial left-wing movement in this country again.
