The war in Ukraine has sparked intense discussion and debate among socialists and Marxists worldwide about how to understand and respond to this war. Should socialists support or oppose NATO governments sending weapons and military aid to the Ukrainian government? What is an internationalist and socialist strategy to avoid a catastrophic nuclear conflict, end this war, and defend the interests of the working class and the democratic right to self determination? This week we have an audio version of an article by Paul Murphy in Rupture on this issue.
Paul is speaking at an international roundtable debate on the war in Ukraine this Sunday December 4th at 6pm Irish time, find out more here: https://cutt.ly/ukraineroundtable
