      That was only hypothetical. In that case they are all clearly far right, but in principle I guess the far left wouldn’t show a different stance imho.

        What? Hit c/anarchism or something and ask what those guys would think of volunteering in the Ukrainian army. You might be thinking of tankies, which are one subset of the far left but not in any way a dominant one because they’re also nutjobs.

          A large part of the German left opposes to send weapons to Ukraine, and the German party ‘Die Linke’ (‘The Left’) urges the West to open.‘peace negotiations’ in collaboration with China (completely ignoring that Beijing is Russia’s strongest ally with apparently little interest in peace while acting increasingly aggressive against Taiwan and in the South China Sea).

          There are certainly others left and right as we can see in the article, but extremists on both sides reject democratic values.
