Since Trump going into office he seems to have completely lost it, glazing Trump at every opportunity as though he’s this big peacemaker in Ukraine. Ofc he never was a socialist but he used to have very reasonable takes especially on Ukraine. I feel this is a consequence of a lack of dialectical materialism but I can’t exactly put my finger on the exact mechanisms at play.
He bought into Trump’s promises for peace pre-election and now he can’t believe he was wrong. To be honest, a lot of otherwise reasonable good commentators have gone down this path.
