This doesn’t make any sense to me. I know they aren’t Marxists, but the goals of communism are people-centric. We’re trying to achieve a better society for all people, so why exclude certain groups from that?

(if we are to assume that we dont get full Posadism)
The USA and EU are domestically destroying their own economies with this war. This silly war undermines NATO’s ability to oppose China. Asking countries to sanction Russia when they produce alot of grain and oil for African nations makes joining the Chinese belt and road initiative more appealing. This creates opportunities of alternatives to the IMF which gives imperial periphery nations the opportunity to have their governments control industries for the domestic population, not the foreign corporations. The contradictions of capitalism create the seeds of socialism. I personally believe that socialism is best promoted domestically and not imposed on by a foreigner.
The diplomatic demands from the collective west are making china seem like a more reliable partner. China did denounce the invasion (as they should).
This invasion has the interesting effect of weakening the soft and hard power of the imperial core and also gives workers in the periphery opportunities to industrialize in socialist terms not strangled by the IMF or world bank. The BRICS alternative is looking more likely. Saudia Arabia and Iran working together with china is part of this advancement.
If Ukraine were to be victorious, that would be a disaster for international communism because it would normalize the superstructure of international fascism to seep even further in imperial core countries. With a Russian victory the Russians may have no trouble controlling the eastern Ukraine, but suffer from political violence in western Ukraine. I suspect that this invasion is a financial loss for Russia even if they finally get the port and oil they wanted. My suspicion is that Russia will fall into the orbit of China.
Neither the current Russian government nor the current Ukrainian government are particularly great for our LGBT comrades, but I don’t understand how siding with Nazis helps them in any manner.
Sorry for going off on the international implications of the war, but here is a video about Ukraine specifically from a Marxist perspective:

Russia and China only have good things to look forward to. If a Nuclear war were to start, I suspect the USA to start it.
