I suspect that many of you are merely bourgeois intellectuals. Not at all of the same calibre as Socialist intellectuals.

But there is still hope for you long-benighted ones. Join us in the Workers' Paradise! Hold a plebiscite if needs be!!

Voting for socialism? How bourgeois! Lenin didn't let such formalities get in his way.

Here below is the first kind
Quote:
Readout of the President’s Call with President Putin
President Putin called President Obama today to discuss the U.S. proposal for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis in Ukraine, which Secretary Kerry had again presented to Foreign Minister Lavrov at the meeting at the Hague earlier this week, and which we developed following U.S. consultations with our Ukrainian and European partners. President Obama suggested that Russia put a concrete response in writing and the presidents agreed that Kerry and Lavrov would meet to discuss next steps.
President Obama noted that the Ukrainian government continues to take a restrained and de-escalatory approach to the crisis and is moving ahead with constitutional reform and democratic elections, and urged Russia to support this process and avoid further provocations, including the buildup of forces on its border with Ukraine.
President Obama underscored to President Putin that the United States continues to support a diplomatic path in close consultation with the Government of Ukraine and in support of the Ukrainian people with the aim of de-escalation of the crisis. President Obama made clear that this remains possible only if Russia pulls back its troops and does not take any steps to further violate Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. President Obama reiterated that the United States has strongly opposed the actions that Russia has already taken to violate Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

I wonder how the other kind of intellectuals, the ones in Moscow, review this call.

Dear wonderingjoesmith

They might, perhaps, think that, on occasion, historical inevitability could need a gentle push. Very Happy

Dear Johnslat

The word is 'guidance', not pushing. Tsk tsk.


With Communist greetings

Bourgeois media guides, pushes, re-educates and dictates the history; they are the multibillion dollar blind and ignorant entity.

Advancing the NATO alliance eastward and refusing Russia to enter the pact has most likely re-educated many socialist intellectuals.

Whether it's historically inevitable for the Ukraine to be a unified state or loose federation remains as significant as the debate about EU or the US.

Warm socialist regards to all,
Joe
