“Snopes? Think I’ll pass”
Yes. Pass.
Azov are Nazis.
Their rivals are Communists.
Nazis and communists are just two groups of socialists that domt necessarily like each other. Nazis are national socialists. Commumosts are not true communists, they are socializt working to achieve communism, which is 100 percent impossivble to achieve.
I am still trying to figure this out, though I won’t go to snowpees for an answer.
The best I can come to is that the Azov are Anti-Communist / Anti-Russian. I am sure that there is a lot of bad blood in the region for Stalin and what the Russians and Communists did in the past.
The only force in recent times to come through Ukraine and kick Russian ass were the Nazis. These Azov guys are those kind of “Nazis”. They want to kill Communists/Russians, but I doubt they’re pining for a return of Hitler. They’ve never read Mine Kampf, and they seem to be able to work with a Jewish President.
That’s my take, for now, anyway.
“ Yes. Pass.
Azov are Nazis.
Their rivals are Communists.”
Prior to Russia’s invasion it is thought the number of Azov Battalion “fighters” might add up to about 700 people.
Nazi’s and Communists are rivals, in the rich traditions of how different variants of Marxism fight each other for supremacy.
