Sorry, tankies, but opposing war is something Stalin—and by extension Hitler, because they are identical men—would do. And as Putin is Hitler, that means Putin is also Stalin, ipso facto you support World War 3.

Putin is a reactionary autocrat who embodies the worst traits of State tyranny - nationalistic, militaristic, and hostile towards personal and workplace freedom - even if his oligarchic capitalism and Soviet nostalgia contradict a strict 'far-right' label.

Why yes, Putin is an autocrat, his highly personalized and centralized system of power lacks meaningful checks and balances. He suppresses dissent, and operates largely on his personal whims rather than any sort of institutional governance.

seems like this is so subjective it can be applied to any government you don't like. I don't think you have any real evidence for it all being his personal whims beyond Applebaum-tier articles in The Atlantic. on a larger level, this is Great Man Theory bullshit with zero material analysis

Opposing one tyranny by excusing another betrays the essence of liberation - solidarity fights all oppression, not just the West's. Revolutionary ethics demand consistency, selective outrage that shields authoritarianism under the guise of anti-imperialism is not how we should conduct ourselves.

Russia is deeply authoritarian, and built on the oppression of the people by the State and capital. What would you consider authoritarianism to be?

miz [any, any] - 5mon
so authoritarian is when capitalist state? that doesn't seem like a useful definition to me

I'm sorry that you find the word 'authoritarian' upsetting, however it does have a commonly agreed upon definition. I personally see no need to pretend otherwise.

A meaningless, inconsistently applied word born out of a fetish for idealism that is primarily used to deem any state opposed to Western hegemony as irredeemable and worthy of condemnation.

Its a good thing (for us, not for you)

Russia is literally ruled by westerners. Both in a colonial sense (Siberia is a colony), political (they're an oligarchy) and in the geopolitical one.
If their oligarchs don't create wars how else is Lockheed Martin supposed to sell missile?
Putin is literally the tsar.

Imperialist detected. Are the pesky authoritarians putting up resistance to your world genocide again, instead of rolling over like you want them to?
The same must be said of the revolutionary character of national movements in general. The unquestionably revolutionary character of the vast majority of national movements is as relative and peculiar as is the possible revolutionary character of certain particular national movements. The revolutionary character of a national movement under the conditions of imperialist oppression does not necessarily presuppose the existence of proletarian elements in the movement, the existence of a revolutionary or a republican programme of the movement, the existence of a democratic basis of the movement. The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such "desperate" democrats and "Socialists," "revolutionaries" and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism.
