"Your anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism is worthless, if you still support other imperialists/colonialists. Only because they are against that other, more powerful imperialist/colonialist. That doesn't make you a imperialist/colonialist, but a hypocrite and complicit in human rights violations."

New book on #Ukraine takes aim at #tankies #campists and #Kremlinsplainers
https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Ukraine-Debunking-Propaganda-Resistance/dp/B0C87S545P/
This marvelous anthology provides a breadth of analysis, calling for a just peace in Ukraine and solidarity with Ukrainians as they reclaim their sovereignty. Contrary to so-called "peace activists" who myopically fall for Putin's false rationalizations, these writers show that all who oppose authoritarian tyrants must call for the full withdrawal of Russian forces, solid security guarantees, restitution and accountability for the atrocities.
- Kent Jewell, Alumus, Left Bank Books Seattle, and the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament
This book provides a different perspective than both the authoritarian left and the liberals. Writing from a perspective in pursuit of working class unity that transcends national boundaries and supports the liberation of the exploited. A must-read for those who want to understand Russian's invasion of Ukraine from the view point of genuine anti-imperialism.
