New Text: Stop conflating Ukraine and its inhabitants

Submitted by critisticuffs on March 11, 2022

We have a new piece out

It is thus grotesque when Western and Ukrainian anarchists and other leftists promote the conflation of a state and its subjects, encourage their comrades to sacrifice themselves – practically for the Ukrainian state, in their mind for liberty – and collect money for the war effort.

Moral creatures that they are, they both collect money to help refugees fleeing the war and collect money for the war. They cannot see the difference between the party in this war, the Ukrainian state, and the victims of this war, its inhabitants.
