I had a discussion with @Cowbee@lemmy.ml recently where they insisted that Anarchists on Hexbear accept Lenin's analysis of Imperialism and therefore all support "Actual Existing Socialist" states such as Cuba, USSR and I guess North Korea as well.

In fact, they argued it's the reason most anarchists of Hexbear don't like to discuss anarchism away from hexbear, explicitly because outside anarchists do not support "AES".

So I'm curious to see what your thoughts are on this. If you're an anarchist who supports "AES" how do you square this support with the conflict these states have with anarchist theory on hierarchy?

I don't think many people are glad Russia invaded.

You should probably not confuse countries and people though, while invading is bad the usa and allies using this as a proxy war to weaken Russia has just resulted in more Ukrainian people dying. It's not actually helping any of the people in the invaded regions to conscript them and send them into a meat grinder to die. Regardless of who ends up paying taxes to whom after all this shitloads of normal people on both sides are dead, while elites lose nothing either way.
