is this a response to me?
i'm a bit confused.
i don't know what the CPC have to do with the question of whether people on the internet should say they like Russia or Ukraine in a war.

yes.
it won't come from any existing socialist state tho, it will come from the contradictions that are emerging in the global order.
i say this because there has been only one time in which an existing socialist state brought about socialism in another country and it was WWII. the rest have been internal.
here are some videos you can watch which take a materialist analysis of the current situation in the context of past wars and revolutions.

How the World Works by Paul Cockshott. you can use the bibliography as a reading list as well.
i believe this guy as far as i can throw him.
he was selling "anti-radiation" pills in japan and says the japanese government are spreading radioactive waste around the country to hide cancer cases from their experiments.
this post should be deleted.
you raise good points but they are already accounted for in CO2 emissions figures.
first, CO2 emissions peaked in the 1970s when the US imported much of its oil and when coal was used as the main fossil fuel. The switch away from coal is where much of the reduction comes from, which is why emissions can fall even tho oil production is high.
second, we don't need to ask the US military what their emissions were. we know how much they purchased in fossil fuels and that's where the estimates come from. the US military produces "51 million metric tons" each year, or about an extra 1% if you assume the numbers from https://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/carbon/ don't include it.
so in short, no. it is not assuming we ignore record oil production or the US military. as for exports, the US imports about as much energy as it exports.
that's likely why they took it in the first place.
it's a pawn in the peace negotiations.
russia will win the war (which tbh some people on this site seem a little too excited about despite hundreds of thousands of people's lives being at stake, both Russian and Ukrainian) but we must remember that the same people saying the Ukrainian regime won't hold this for bargaining are the ones who thought the war would be over in the next two weeks for the past 2 years.
some MLs might benefit from re-reading Lenin's works around WWI, because some subtext around here seems to be picking sides in this inter-imperialist war rather than hoping for peace.
that symbol is for nazbols. they are fascists.
important to note this is not the entire economy but just the top 100 firms.
looking at things as a whole, the capitalist sector is about 60% of GDP and 80% of urban employment.

it's still good news.
isn't it referring to nazbols?
not bolshevism in general.
i swear, some MLs need to work on their reading comprehension.
since 2000 (after much of the off shoring of emissions from production), US emissions are down 25%.
this article is a poor polemic.
ah ok. my apologies :D
