The Friends of the Class War’s Presentation
Introduction
Myth 1: We are not fighting for the State, but in defense of the people under the fire of the imperial army.
Myth 2: Without military operations, it would be impossible to protect the lives of the Ukrainian population and resist the Russian empire.
Myth 3: The Russian Empire can only be defeated by military force.
Myth 4: Ukraine’s population is under fire from a well-armed Russian army, so defense will not be possible without armament support from NATO and European Union governments.
Myth 5: Anarchists in Ukraine cannot fight except by joining the army because there is no mass workers’ movement with the means and capacity to organize itself in an anarchist way.
Myth 6: By not taking part in the war, the working class abandons the weapons it can use to defend itself.
Myth 7: The involvement of the Ukrainian population in the war was forced by the invasion of Russian troops.
Myth 8: By getting involved in the war on the Ukrainian side, the interests of the working class in the Ukrainian region are defended.
Myth 9: An open dictatorship is a less favorable terrain for self-organization than the liberal democracy for which Ukraine is fighting.
Myth 10: Support for the Ukrainian population is often denied, on the basis of the presence of far-right forces, which are not that strong in the country.
Myth 11: Anarchists are against wars, but this one is different from the others, so we must get involved.
Myth 12: The war has destabilized the Ukrainian State, opening up new possibilities for workers to defend their needs and interests.
Myth 13: Opposing the struggle of Ukrainian troops because it benefits Western elites is like opposing industrial strikes because they benefit capitalist competitors.
Myth 14: This is not a war of imperial blocs, but an invasion by a single empire that wants to subjugate its neighbors who have nothing to do with imperialism.
Myth 15: The analysis of anarchists and leftists, especially in the West, is short-sighted because they see imperialism only in the US, NATO and its allies, not in Russia.
Myth 16: The claim that the two warring sides are the same is a common ideological justification for not standing up for the massacred Ukrainian population.
Myth 17: People who have not experienced occupation by the troops of an imperial power will find it difficult to understand why the people of Ukraine are defending themselves through war mobilization.
Myth 18: The resistance of the Ukrainian troops is based on the voluntary involvement of the Ukrainian population, which decided to join the fight.
Myth 19: Refusing to support Ukrainian military forces means sacrificing the population to the bombing by Russian troops.
Myth 20: People who refuse to support the resistance of the Ukrainian army cling to abstract ideological dogmas that cannot practically help those affected.
Myth 21: People rejecting the military resistance of the Ukrainians are only interested in ideological purity and do not care about real people.
Myth 22: Criticism of involvement in war is often based on outdated quotes from anarchist classics that cannot be applied to the contemporary context.
Myth 23: Antimilitarism is important, but it is a problem when it becomes dogma.
Myth 24: Refusing to take part in the fight on the side of the Ukrainian war resistance is a manifestation of the Western Left’s cultural arrogance.
Myth 25: It is easy to refuse participation in war from people who express their views in a safe place far from the war and do not have to respond to the bombing of their cities.
Myth 26: People who criticize participation in war from a safe distance are unemphatic and condescending because they do not listen to the people on the ground.
Myth 27: To criticize the resistance of the Ukrainian army from outside Ukraine is to deny the Ukrainian population self-determination and the ability to be a self-determining agent of change.
Myth 28: Opponents of supporting Ukrainian military forces are in fact propagandists for the Putin’s regime.
Myth 29: In this war, democracy must win to prevent fascism/dictatorship from winning.
Myth 30: The statement “No war but class war” is an abstract and impractical slogan. It is useless to the bombed population.
Myth 31: The anti-militarist initiative must be aimed at defeating the militarism of the Russian army.
