Do literally ALL Ukrainian soldiers wear fascist imagery? (hexbear.net)

I’m not on Twitter, so I get my news elsewhere, but most of the actual pictures I see are from here. So is there some kind of bias where only the fascist imagery gets posted here in the the dunk tank? Or do the libs scrolling through Ukrainian posts on Twitter literally see and ignore fascist imagery on every single post? Like, if they see 1000 Ukrainian soldiers, will they see 1000 fascist symbols?

Nope, fascism involves privatization. Nationalization is a communist/socialist/social democratic move.

The word privatization was invented to describe the actions of the Nazi government. The biggest lie you have ever been sold by Liberals is that Fascism is "when big scary state" exists. Fascism is the domination of the petty capitalists, the complete freedom of them to act with impunity. "Free Market" and "Small Government" are synonymous with fascism, not antithetical to it.

The intermixing of the capitalists and the state happened in Nazi Germany not because private capital was being nationalized, but because national capital was being privatized and sold off. Private industrial barons became warlords. Notice how all the big German war production companies were private companies making massive profits (Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porshe, etc.) while all the USSR war production companies were 100% soviet controlled?
