Ukraine - the enemy of my enemy...


 
...is not necessarily my friend. For too long some in the West have gone easy on the current Russian regime for its longstanding, but now sadly baseless, political history of adhesions with revolutionary change and its reactionary enemies. If there was ever a reason for updating the common "folk wisdom" about enemies then the invasion of Ukraine by a fascistic regime should stand as a key instance. But no-one should forget the brave Russians who have stood for progressive principles of social inclusion and equality and have paid a heavy price. TorontotheBetter stands for social economics and there can be no civilized interactions at all when innocents are at risk for their lives. Ukraine has had its share of fascists, it's true, but supporting other fascists is not a route to progressive societies or economies.
