    Can someone explain like I’m 5 how being against Nazis and capitalism is authoritarian bootlicking? Seems like the exact opposite.

      Authoritarianism isn’t exclusive to capitalism. You can have a communist country that is Authoritarian, like China or Russia. But they will fervently deny that China and Russia are Authoritarian, the various human rights abuses and lack of freedom at their feet in order to promote Authoritarian style Communism

      They are against Nazis, but they apply that label to just about everyone who is against their views and/or what China/Russia pushes. They will say that Ukraine is completely run by Nazis for example, a propaganda line right out of Moscow.

        Ukrainian leadership declared themselves Nazis. They’ve recently spent millions erecting monuments of famous Nazis, and are naming streets after them. Their soldiers are literally covered in Nazi symbols.

        When someone tells you themselves that they’re a Nazi, why do you think your beliefs overrule their own self-image?

          WSWS is a biased “trotskyist” rag and this is an opinion piece whingeing about Ukraine throwing off the shackles of soviet oppression written by the leader of a former Ukrainian political party that was banned for having ties to Russia. Opinion disregarded

          The TOI link you posted lists its source as a tweet which no longer exists.

          Neither link claims “Ukrainian leadership declared themselves Nazis”

            So you’re denying Ukraine is doing this? Or am I a tankie for pointing it out? All it takes to be a tankie is pointing out someone is calling themself a Nazi?

            You’ve taken this so far, you’re entering into Nazi sympathizer/collaborator territory.

            The US Congress had to lift a ban on arming Nazis in order to send arms to Ukraine. Now tell me how it’s somehow my fault for pointing that out.

              Do you guys read the sources you post or just the headlines?

              Moscow has repeatedly portrayed the Azov as a Nazi group and accused it of atrocities, but has publicly given little evidence of the allegations.

                Yes, I am aware AP has been whitewashing for fascists for a while. But Congress is not bound by what Moscow believes. Congress had to lift the ban on arming Nazis to send Ukraine weapons, because it’s also what the US believes.

                You know who also believes Ukraine is currently governed by a Nazi regime? The soldiers covering their uniforms in Nazis patches, the politicians naming streets after Nazis, and the Ukrainians openly declaring ‘I am a Nazi.’

                  Do you know who never called themselves nazis btw? The actual nazis. But hey, you show me that literal open declaration of “I am a Nazi” that you seem to be claiming exists.

                  But you won’t. Because it doesn’t. And you’re a sad angry loser who’s angry he has to defend Putler’s actions and live in a shithole.

                  What you will do is ignore all the points, lick some boots, then post some other inane list of non-related articles that tangentially approach the subject, pretend like they say what you claim when they literally say the opposite, then fuck right off. It’s like all the smart trolls in Russia were recruited to the war and are now fertilising Ukrainian soil. Well, guess that’s a natural selection of sorts as well. Devolution, if you will.

          Perhaps, but the CCP proclaim themselves to be a “communist” country and the tankies believe them even though their actions are, like you said, capitalist-like.
