> How the heck is the anti-capitalist camp somehow aligned with the pro-war camp now?

I think both of those labels are way too generalistic. "I think people should cap out at a billion dollars" isn't anti-capitalistic. It's anti unrestrained capitalism.

Similarly, "we should aid Ukraine in defending itself against an invasion" isn't "pro-war". It's accepting of reality, i.e. there is a war no matter your feelings on it. And letting an aggressor do whatever they want is likely to lead to more war.

Anyway, the anti-capitalist camp being aligned with the pro-war camp is nothing new. The Soviets were both.
