Show Notes
Friend of the show and Ukrainian immigrant Alex Gendler (@achilleselbow) discusses the Russian invasion of Ukraine, situating it in its proper historical context before discussing more recent events. He also takes some time to debunk galaxy brain takes from dumb dumb anti-imperialists who think a "multipolar" world — with neoliberal, authoritarian Russia as one of the poles — will somehow bring us closer to communism.
