Just a closer peek into the man's life. It's not that he criticized this or that, it's that he was a fraud

He’s been giving some PatSoc vibes from what I know of him. I know he’s worked with MWM before claiming he “didn’t know they were PatSocs” when he got backlash as recent as 2024 iirc. I also read the intro he wrote for post-mortem release (which he edited) of Losurdo’s “Western Marxism: How It Was Born, How It Died, and How It Can Be Reborn” where he denounces decolonial Marxism as a western deviation of Marxism.

Could you please elaborate on that one a little bit? Do you have any relevant links or references? I mean, Rockhill does have some very good works, I never suspected anything PatSoc-y, and in Losurdo's book I could only find this:

"Much of what Losurdo diagnoses in this book therefore applies mutatis mutandis to many other trends promoted by the theory industry, some of which are openly anti-Marxist, including postcolonial theory, decolonial theory, liberal feminist and queer theory, Afro-pessimism, and so forth.15"

Here's what is probably being referenced: "Gaya Markaran and Pierre Gaussens, coord., Piel blanca, máscaras negras: Crítica de la razón decolonial (Mexico City: Bajo Tierra and Centro Centro de Investigaciones sobre América Latina y el Caribe-Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2020);"

That was Anatoliy Chubais, this one is his older brother afaik. No surprise there

But a nation is loved not for its political system

Should Germans have loved Nazi Germany because it was "their nation", in spite of its political system? How about the Italians or the Japanese? Or any European nation participating in WW1? Is loving the US (or any other imperialist nation) not reactionary? Patriotism cannot and should not be detached from class reality and from material analysis. Otherwise it becomes nothing but a tool to lead the masses towards their slaughter in the name of Capital, instead of a tool for liberation.

PS IMHO anyone unironically referencing Solzhenitsyn as "credible source" should be immediately dismissed.

I think it's already in Africa

Relatively not European, relatively not civilized anymore

Absolutely agree

drip

Who tf comes up with names like these? Edit: They also call their git repo work "condriputions" 🙄

The title implies its been creeping into the modern Ukrainian army, which only existed for 33-something years. The "80 years" part may only be applicable to the outside world. It's mixed up a bit here.

Ukrainian fascism was created outside Ukraine

Fascism by its very nature is always an Astroturfed movement. And given the fact that we're talking about a former Soviet republic - it had to be forcefully pushed into the country, with billions of dollars pouring from the Empire's coffers.

Fascism was created in the Western Europe

I wouldn't quite put it like that - reactionary movements existed prior to Mussolini and Hitler - the particular form that was eventually coined as "fascism" was, though. UNR, I would say, were also reactionaries, so were the Whites etc. The point stands -Banderism is undoubtedly a vile child of the West.

This comment is spot on, though. Couldn't agree more.

The only difference is optics. Liberals think it, fascists say it.

Rest in piss you won't be missed

Capitalism is when no food and no teeth to chew food. Got it. Renting teeth when?
