Ordinary working class people in the United States , in Russia , and in the Ukraine do not plan wars and do not start wars. Indeed " OUR democracy " does not even consult us on this business of war: A referendum for nuclear World War III with Russia ? But working class people can END wars and PREVENT wars. Have ordinary working class Americans been convinced by all this Wilsonian blather ( once again make the world safe for democracy ? ) that no cause should be dearer to our hearts than a dubiously SOVEREIGN Ukraine led by an arrogant , war mongering President Zelensky ? So infinitely precious - American capitalism and American imperialism . A mountain of corpses is worth it ?
