RUSSIA RECOGNIZES DONBASS REPUBLICS TODAY, UKR ARMY ATTACKS TOMORROW

ADDENDUM
Putin makes a statement following the Security Council meeting on Donbass recognition
21 February 2022
Putin's statement on the origins of the USSR, the creation of Ukraine and the effects of nationalism contains a great deal of truth and equanimity, but is also marred by a heavy dose of bourgeois Russian nationalism, not to mention a deformed reading of Bolshevism, and the terrible, at times chaotic conditions faced by the early Bolshevik leaders in wresting Russia from the claws of feudo-capitalism, civil war, and foreign meddling. In that manner, Putin, like many anticommunists, underrates and underestimates the innumerable problems presented by the highly toxic historical context in which the first workers' state was born. Although Russia is today almost a hybrid state—part collectivist, part capitalist—what will Putin do when the still powerful capitalist organs of the nation start to cause the inevitable and unresolvable crises that capitalism always does? What will be done when the capitalist forces—as they always do— begin to corrupt and eventually overthrow the core socialist elements in the delicate mix? I hope that by them either he or someone else will have retrained Russia's direction and sociopolitical DNA towards a far more vigorous socialist future. Without firm socialist foundations, Russia's long-term glorious promise, to herself and humanity, will again become a shattered dream. —The Editor
