PREAMBLE
Considering that it is a multipolar world, not a unipolar world of geopolitical hegemony, that has historically given class movements in multiple countries political momentum in terms of regular class struggle,
Considering that developing countries can play off competing imperialist powers against each other, especially on trade,
Considering that, even if a multipolar world may make the great leveller of inter-imperialist war more likely, it also makes the great leveller of revolution more likely by utterly discrediting at least one imperialist power,
The following ought to be obligated upon immediately, outside a revolutionary period for the working class, including the absence of mass party-movements.
The following ought to be obligated upon all relevant parties immediately, including “lesser evil” imperialist powers.

– Immediate constitutional reform in Ukraine including decentralization, taking into account the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic
– Withdrawal by the Russian Federation of remaining military equipment, foreign armed formations, and mercenaries – subject to the aforementioned constitutional reform
– All other provisions of Minsk II
– Immediate diplomacy for other relevant peace conditions
– Immediate end to all crackdowns on anti-war protesters
US and EUROPE
– No direct NATO member involvement whatsoever, including no-fly zones

Wage no war but the class war!
Comradely,
Jacob Richter
