Putin's Russia, like America, is a multiracial empire in which nonwhites are more fertile than whites and which promotes a multicultural ideology. But in Russia, if you wonder too loudly about whether this system is good for the Russian people, you can get 15 years in prison for that kind of thought crime. The West isn't anywhere near that repressive.

Thus from a purely White Nationalist point of view, there's no question what system is better for us to organize, agitate, and win in. Western liberal democracy is far better for White Nationalists than an authoritarian multicultural state like Putin's Russia,

Putin buys off undiscerning reactionaries by building churches and banning pride parades while clamping down on efforts to preserve the Russian people from the Great Replacement, Eurasian style. The lesson here is that based and red-pilled multiculturalists are enemies of whites too.

At Counter-Currents, it is thoughtful reaccs only.

There's a cynical argument now being floated among White Nationalists in the West that we should root for Russian victory in Ukraine--we should cheer on the destruction of one of the whitest nations in Europe by a Eurasian empire--because that will help us defeat our own governments at home. So we should oppose American or NATO pushback against Russia. It's the best thing for white people.

I have to ask, though: if you think it would be good for Russia to spill white blood to bring down the US empire, isn't the quickest and most effective way to bring that about to widen the war, to get the US and NATO fully into it? Wouldn't that threaten their power far more? That's the truly cynical and Machiavellian call here.

Why does your cynicism and Machiavellianism stop merely with Russia achieving her strategic goals in Ukraine?

I asked a Ukrainian from the Donbas--an ethnic Russian, by the way--why not just recognize the Donetsk and Lugansk breakaway republics? After all, don't we believe in ethnic self-determination?

He laughed and said: "The Donetsk People's Republic? The Lugansk People's Republic? These are Communist projects, supported by foreign Communists and bankrolled by Russia," which Ukrainians see as increasingly neo-Bolshevik.

And indeed, the Russian invaders are now flying the Soviet flag. They even sent in a unit named in honor of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police.

Among the people I wanted to glibly cede to the rule of these breakaway states on the basis of ethnicity are many who would kill and die not to be ruled by neo-Bolsheviks and foreign antifa. They remember Bolshevism as bringing them terror and death. They don't see this as primarily an ethnic issue but as an ideological struggle against communism.

That opened my eyes.

Please support my Communist People's Republics on the grounds of ethnonationalism and national self-determination.

No, as a Communist I hold ethnonationalism and national self-determination in contempt. So those arguments won't work on me.

But if I use them on you, maybe you'll do what I want.

Please support my multiracial empire on the grounds of ethnonationalism and national self-determination.

Of course, ethnonationalism and national self-determination are against the law here, because they would threaten the empire. So such arguments would not work on me.

But if I use them on you, maybe you'll do what I want.

In response to Keith Woods below, I think he is missing my point. The question in my mind was whether we are wrong to frame this in terms of ethonationalism and national self-detemination when on the ground it is often Russians vs. Russians fighting over matters of ideology not ethnicity.
