Please be real. Anticommunism is going in Ukraine since 1991, it goes HARD since 2014
But they still had two breakaway socialist republics. Shocktherapy will only exacerbate anti-government opinions. If the enforcement wasnāt strong enough before, then this war is a good excuse to strengthen it now.
Just a minute of search and already three separate cases.
But these arenāt based on non-alienable traits. The first one is refuted in the reply by the commission. The second is the most damning but still doesnāt point towards punishments for private use. The third source even says that Russian is allowed as an option, as long as the publication is fully accessible in Ukrainian. Other countries have similar laws. Over time, Russian language use might die out because of them but itās not apartheid.
Iāve seen compelling evidence of planned and actively happening liberalisation. Iām onboard here as well. Abuse was meant to include murder, but also smaller abuses. Iām also not pretending the westās propaganda isnāt overt. Iād like credible smoking-gun sources on apartheid in part to fight some of this propaganda.
Question is, why are you thinking the banderists neonazis wonāt do what every other nazis in history had done, apartheid and persecution of minorities.
(De jure, because de facto persecution of minorities is happening) Because I think it would be unpopular in Europe and they want Europeās support. Vigilantism can serve their needs fine. And Iām not even saying youāre wrong and it hasnāt happened, just that the evidence Iāve seen is ambiguous, and I requested unambiguous evidence.
If something is written in law that allows serious discrimination based on inalienable traits, then that can be broadcast and change the narrative about the regime. A hundred photos of nazis is only just that. One hundred photos. They have 40M people, so itās squishy. (Yes I understand that there were 800000 Euromaiden protestors standing side by side with Nazi flag carriers) But legal code isnāt squishy. Statements by Zelenskyy arenāt squishy.

Ukraine had by now two huge waves of shock therapy starting in 1991 and 2014 and few smaller ones, and the most noticeable effect of them was mass exodus of people both to Russia and to the west for nearly solely economical reasons. The breakaway was more a compound effect of shock therapy, the oppression of russian-speakers, coup trampling over the eastern Ukraine, and anticommunism somewhat too. Do remember that there are many russian-speakers in Ukraine that do identify as Ukrainians, and the chauvinist nation-building narration maidan clique presses is far from truth. Also history proven that the shock therapies in east Europe did not sparked nearly enough opposition to really change anything - in no country except Belarus they did change anything by themselves. people just sucked it up, with very active western support for the compradors making all the efforts to make it so.
I linked you the IMF and G7 plans for post war looting of Ukraine which by all means will be probably one of the most tragic event that country witnessed since 1991ā¦ and the eagerness of the Zelensky government for allowing it. Of course things are still hanging because the looters donāt know if they would have anything to loot left after the war (meaning they are not sure Ukraine will still exist as a state), and Zelensky is so eager to please them because they are the only thing that are currently supporting his neonazi clique and he will need A LOT more material support if heās gonna keep his butt on his office and not inside siberian prison. I just wonder where the line for support lie for them. Or if that really matter, since the profits are all going to private pockets of bourgeosise and all the costs are on the working class as usual in the imperialist wars.

The institution most famous for blind support and propaganda of banderists is of course supporting the banderists. Canāt those pesky Russians, Greeks and Hungarians just stop being what they are and become good Ukrainians.
You know, thatās not even just apartheid. That is, borrowing the popular liberal terminology, cultural genocide.
Because I think it would be unpopular in Europe and they want Europeās support.
Sorry but youāre just denying reality at this point. EU media and politicians are just cheering them up no matter what they do.
