Reminder that Zelensky is not an innocent victim.
The guy is an tyrannical puppet stuck between the americans, the literal fascists, and the european liberal factions surrounding him. They banned every leftist opposition party. They arrested communists (like the Kononovich brothers), some of which have not been heard from since. They banned every remotely left wing media outlet. They ceased all elections because they know they wouldn’t win it, even Noam Chomsky has called him an autocrat and we all know he’s as soft left as you can get.
Out of curiosity, what do you know about Sotsialny Rukh? I keep seeing bourgeois left, socdems and other false left promote them, but they still are a big enigma to me. Everything about them screams SBU op to me.
Ukrainian communists tell everyone to stay away from these groups: Sotsialny Rukh, Zakhist Praci, Liva Opozicija. It’s a wild of mix of trotskyists, chauvinists and even outright nazis who masquerade as communists. Generally, they support continuation of the war, forced mobilization and some of them (such as Andrey Ishchenko) even called for “hunting down the Russians all over the world”.
Practically they are SBU provocateurs.
Hopefully this will radicalizes some Ukrainians, but I fear that they will side with the far right. During times of warfare and economic hard shift, along with a negative memory under the Soviet Union and being taught to be against communist, we might see a rise in the Ukrainian far right. But there will also be those that will gravitate to the left
I just hope the Baltic states don't get involved
Yeah I don't feel a bit sorry for them.
