I’m trying to learn more about the Russia/Ukraine conflict. In the articles that I find that seem to be critical of Ukraine, there are a few that are right wing that seem to have similar viewpoints as what I’ve read on here or in the more leftist articles.
For example this piece from National Interest, or this from the CATO institute.
There are others that aren’t flagged as right wing that are critical, but it’s just got me wondering, why would right wing politicians/publications perceive these things similarly to how some communists would when the ideologies of both are so extremely opposite?
Disclaimer: I’m not pro-ukraine at all, but in my search for info that’s not super pro-Ukraine propaganda, this is the stuff that comes up for me
And would you say the US government derives its authority from democratic means? Despite peoples’ votes only mattering in a handful of swing states, despite the government constantly taking actions that are massively unpopular or refusing to take up ones that are massively popular, despite systemic, racialized disenfranchisement via the prison industrial complex?
No I would not. The US has markings of an oligarchy, giving the rich way more power than the poor.
