A place to ask questions of Lemmygrad's best and brightest

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to articulate to people that this conflict isn't just "Russia bad, Ukraine good" and that Ukraine is riddled with Nazis and is a NATO proxy being supported largely by the US.

I've gotten a couple of responses, one of them being "I strongly believe Ukraine is currently the best and strongest military in the world, their advances in weaponry are incredible and they were able to defend themselves properly even now that the US has abandoned them".

I don't think this is true at all, I think maybe the West is just arming and funding them to continue the pressure on Russia and also tried to explain what Nazis they are, to which I mostly got "this isn't relevant".

I would love more credible, proper, Marxist resources that I could read and counter them more properly next time on these matters, the Prolewiki article is nice, but it isn't enough to de-brainwash these people and doesn't provide me with enough language.

Fantastic article and writing in general. This will probably be the defacto source I send to people now.
