D Raja, author and general secretary of the Communist Party of India, opened up about his and his party’s stance on Russia’s aggression, Ukraine, NATO and US imperialism.
In a conversation with The News Minute’s Sudipto Mondal for What’s Your Ism, Raja rhetorically asked, “Why is NATO spreading? Instead of confining to the north atlantic, why is it spreading everywhere? This is where we should understand the present imperialistic character?”
The politician - one of the tallest leaders of the Indian communist movement - also spoke about the implications of US imperialism for Asia and Marxism in the Indian context.

Russia doesnot have marxist leninist economic structure anymore .Russia today has a vibrant market capitalist economy. There are many oligrachs in Russia today.. This is the reality.

What about Chinese🇨🇳 imperialism???? Claiming border according to Quing dynasty???

[@Anway-NeverGiveUp]

Neither Russia has the right to invade Ukraine nor NATO should fund Ukraine to fight wars with Russia. Russia and Ukraine deserve to be one country. But, all wars must stop for sake of humanity, ultimately innocents die on both sides. What's UN doing? What's India's stand on such issues?

[@cinefile0075]

U r deciding Russia and Ukraine should be one country ?? Ukraine doesn't want to be part of Russia. Russia is tobe blamed for invading Ukraine. Not the other way around

What's is the remark upon ongoing fascist rule in this country?

[@abhishekbarua360]

Makes sense

[@rajnishkrmanga]

D. Raja is quite off the mark. He talks about imperialists and expansionist NATO. Should Russia be allowed a free hand against Ukraine?

How can you claim to fight for democracy in India and say Putin and Russia is not to be blamed rather nato (yes NATO had its role) but genocide in bucha and irpin of innocent Ukrainians in no way is justified

[@alexfernandes4781]

Exactly 👍 Russia🇷🇺 👍👍

Not a fan of either the economic policies or the political alliances of countries like US & China but, some would say "What is the need or relevance of CPI, in Indian politics?" in equal measure. Where are your ethics and Marxist values today?
