A Ukrainian Neo-Nazi soldier visited the Auschwitz death camp wearing a shirt quoting Hitler in order to mock the camp’s victims. This is the type of truly fascist scum that billions and billions of US taxpayer dollars are going to fund and arm.

      I tried to explain elsewhere that this =/= nazism. I won’t repeat myself.

      Ok denying Banderism is a nazi ideology just makes you a nazi yourself, can’t say I’m surprised pigmask-off pigmask-off pigmask-off fash-bash

          Plenty of nationalists consider Bandera a national hero

          What are the reasons they consider him a “national hero” what did he do while he was alive, what did he advocate for?

          and yet they have nothing in common with nazi Germany ideology

          Are you claiming the Banderist movement did not collaborate with the Nazi regime that occupied Ukraine? This is your last and final chance to start engaging on this topic with some honesty and rigor before I press the report button on your nazi ass

          Bandera led the OUN-B. The OUN-B collaborated and essentially became an arm of the Nazi party in Ukraine on the eve of the invasion, and attacked in the rear of the Red Army. This is all info available on Wikipedia. Don’t even have to open a book.

          Their actions, both sanctioned and unsanctioned by the Nazis, were ones of antisemitism, Ukrainian ethnic superiority, anticommunism, and assisted in the German exterminations in eastern Europe. Not in common with Nazi ideology is that their targets didn’t include themselves as Slavs (obviously).

          As far as I’m concerned this is a distinction without difference.
