Anyone with more than one brain cell might even read those articles and draw some reasonable conclusions by observing how this brand of nationalist rhetoric has resurfaced, even in the most left-wing circles (not that this comes as much of a surprise to us!). Someone, if they made a little effort, might even come to the conclusion (repeated ad nauseam by now) that if you’re a worker, you have absolutely nothing to gain whether your country wins or loses a war. Your situation as a worker will essentially remain exactly the same, regardless of which flag your country waves. Whether it’s Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, America, or China.
