    Putin is a Conservative leader like there are many, we (currently) veeeeery critically support his leadership because

    1. Zelensky is a nazi, and even if he isn’t his government and military is choke full of them.

    2. He is a counterweight to US hegemony, you know, the whole trade war against NATO and the west

    3. The whole Ukraine war thing, rainer shea did many articles about it

    So we support him in his anti imperialism and fight against NATO, but we critique him in his being

    1. A capitalist (obviously, only children and republicans think he’s a commie, and I don’t know who’s less educated )

    2. A Conservative, he has problematic ideas on the LGBTQ community as well as other aspects.

    In the end this is why dialectical materialism and the Marxist approach is of fundamental importance to understand current events, without it we may think this war is just a classic “both sides bad” affair.
