"The battalion still operates as a relatively autonomous entity. It has been prominent in defending Mariupol in recent weeks, and its resistance has been widely praised by members of the government."

They've been spreading that propaganda for decades.

If I have to sit in a foxhole with someone defending my own country, I’ll take someone on the “far right” over pretty much anyone else just about all the time.

Communism and fascism are leftist ideologies that are like zombies that keep crawling out of their graves. Can’t believe we still deal with them after 1945 and 1991.

Dear CNN:

Nazis were socialists. You know… As in “national Socialist German workers party”.

Socialism is a left-wing ideology. Therefore, Nazis were left-wing socialists… Just like modern day Democrats and progressives and communists.

But you guys know this already…

Given the actions of the Nazis, and comparing them to the actions of BLM, the media, eddikashun unions, school boards, and most of all, our despicable White House collection of excrement, methinks that CNN should point the needle way far to the left.

But, given that they are “journalists”, a true education was obviously denied them.

So “Neo Nazis” are working for a Jew?

I guess CNN failed both History and Journalism.

The reality is that Zelinski is working for them, and us, like a sock puppet.

Soros, a Jew, worked with the Nazis when he was 14. He said, if it hadn't been him, it would have been someone else.

There were blacks that fought for the south in our Civil War.

The US probably has motorcycle gangs that are worse; still, I’d want tattooed bikers with me in a trench killing the Russian invaders.

Someone is working for Nazis? A Soros guy?

Then why are the globohomo (to use a popular term here) Germans raiding AfD?

Next we will hear that Herr Schwab and Soros are backing, oh, Zemmour. This story line is just incoherent.

Hitler threw a few twists in the Nazi product that made it, if not unique, at least distinctive. One was antisemitism. That is abundantly clear in Mein Kampf. That was the heart of Hitlers story. And then there was the, if not exactly racial in a modern sense, devotion to the ethnic community of Germans.

Without those one simply doesnt have real Nazis. There were quite a few movements that aped the Nazi style, but had no real ideological basis in common. Lower class alienated white men arent actual Nazis, no matter if they tattood swastikas on themselves.

One could, maybe, call them fascists, as that is indeed a very broad term. But its very rarely the case that these movements have a developed ideology of the state and corporatist organization of the economy. Fascism is a way more intellectually involved thing for skinheads.

Sure. I never heard Soros denounce being a Nazi. If he had, it’d be searchable news for sure.
