In reply to the discussion: Democratic Socialists of America call on the US to withdraw from NATO [View all]radius777
(3,635 posts)87. The far-left is pro-Putin as much as the far-right is.
The reason is that all of them are anti-West/anti-liberal democracy and see NATO as the defender of it.
The far-left hates the West due to the expansion of capitalism and MIC.
The far-right hates the West due to the expansion of diversity and rights for non-whites.
Putin hates the West due to the expansion of democracies and the weakening of autocracies like his.
