Aaron Maté @aaronjmate "In 2015, the New York Times described Ukraine's Azov Battalion as "openly neo-Nazi." Today, NYT's @antontroian describes Azov as "far-right. What happened?"

Ukrainian Azov military apologists insist there's only a little Nazi in the Azov Battalion, especially since it was integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard.

When I posted a picture of the head of the Ukrainian military wearing a bracelet with adorned with, among other symbols, a Swastika, I was chastised by apologists who insisted it was a 'Scandinavian leaf motif' and that the design is so acceptable and recognized that people can buy it on Amazon.com. Seriously. I'm not making that up!

I believe that the Left considers these terms completely interchangeable.

Hedging their bets? By labelling them ‘far right’ then the Slimes can say the azov deserved to lose if Ukraine falls.

The Left has spent decades making every socialist and communist terrorist group out to be right-wing. Never mind that Nazis are National Socialists. When they refer to the right wing, they are referring to Nazis, White Supremacists, and a whole host of other compatriots of theirs.

The Nazis always refereed to conservatives as ‘’reactionaries’’. I never hear that word anymore.
