Thank you Lemmy and particularly lemmygrad.ml for openning my eyes on Ukraine and the war
Once the western narrative is apparent everything becomes so blatant it’s exhausting
The fascists can kill these heroes, just as they killed Ernst Thaelmann. They can never kill what they represent.
Ah yes, a totally not fascist country doing totally not fascist stuff like executing communists.
And from last I checked (someone correct me if I’m wrong) but the Ukrainian Communist Party doesn’t even support Russia’s invasion. This is pure scapegoating by Zelensky.
Communist Party of Ukraine, let’s not pull a “CCP” on them.
I am not sure the party’s overall take on the Russian invasion, thanks to them basically being cut out of the political process since the “decommunization” laws of 2015, though I know that Symoneko (who is notably from Donbas) was relatively supportive of the operation.
I haven’t found any good sources for what the CPU’s official position was, at least not with reliable citations.
First suspending elections, now purging Communists. Cocaine-sniffing Zelensky is following in his Nazi forefathers’ footsteps.
scum being scum. can’t wait to see how the West news cycle will spin it, if they even bother to write it up at all.
They won’t even bother trying to spin it unless it gets mainstream attention, which it won’t. Anyone who tries to bring it up will get accused of “whataboutism” and that will be the end of the conversation.
I don’t think the banning of political opposition parties even got much news cycle traction.

Talked with a lib recently and brought this up. He replied “well it was necessary because the opposition were Russian puppets. They can be unbanned after the war is over.”___
Why are liberals so eager to excuse this sort of stuff because it’s wartime? They would never accept it happening in their own country, even if they were at war. I guess because it’s ‘somewhere else’ it doesn’t matter to them.
Because libs hate commies as much as fascists 🤣 and western libs are just running dogs 🐶 of Nazism.
Libs are perfectly fine with fascism as long as the word Nazi isn’t used
More like as long as both of those words are used by them to label their political opponents. These words all but lost their meaning within the postmodernist consensus thanks to that shit.
or as long as the word Fascism isn’t used
Libs are probably fine with anything, just don’t use the wrong words (see communism, nazism, fascism, etc.)
They absolutely already did accepted it happening in their own country in time of peace, as murders of Black Panthers shown. And they will CALL for it in the future when the class war intensify in the west.
While I am sure there would be some outcry, there is a very large percentage of US liberals that would probably be thrilled to see communists banned [again]. McCarthy couldn’t wish for a better political climate of fear than they have over there right now.
I’m still kinda skeptical this is real. Seems like a bad propaganda move on UKR’s part. Does anyone have a legit link that says they are assuredly facing execution?
this all may be true, but can you try not to repost a TERF organization?
What’s a TERF?
TERF=Trans-exclusionary radical feminist, basically people who use feminist lingo to hide their transphobia. CPGB-ML has a long history of doing such stuff
They’re not an organisation with the goal of spreading TERF ideas. They’re comrades with some regressive stances on sexuality.
I’d take a thousand comrades who don’t have perfect views on inclusion, over some Trans CEO having a diversity team in their conglomerate. Granted I’m biased as someone who is not historically opressed, but I think we should focus on material gains for people hurting instead of dividing ourselves unnecessarily.
Who exactly is asking you to take “some Trans CEO having a diversity team in their conglomerate”?
I was speaking generally. Rainbow capitalism is still capitalism. I’m saying I’d prefer generic communism over rainbow capitalism
Yeah but it is a false dichotomy though. You don’t have an obligation to accept this mythical “trans CEO” if you call out CPGBML on their extremely regressive views on gender.
it’s not a regressive stance on sexuality, it’s an aggressively reactionary view of gender identity; they’re not just ignorant about it, they have a history of fearmongering about trans women, possibly to pander to the mainstream transphobia in the UK
Ok I did more research and it seems their views on sexual identities are more ingrained and backwards than I’d like. But I’d still say better than many organizations that are reactionary in identities and economy
What difference does it make if communists are arrested? Better than the mass grave they inevitably end up in.
It all happens the same in the end.
Fuck communists.
I think you’re confused
Source please. That’s just sad… I knew they were arrested and without contact to outside world for a long time. But being executed, wow
