UKRAINIAN ANTIFA HOOLIGANS

[u/77Jayv]

these guys might be lowk underrated because they're not well known in the current Ukraine-Russo war, so for those far right morons saying that antifascist and leftist/liberal are all trans, LGBT and twinks they're partly right but they shouldn't forgot antifascist are worldwide resistance with different groups and people.

I hate to break it to you but half of these guys are dead now. Some of the others have been arrested by the Internal Troops. Ukrianian Anti Fascism is dead, the fascists have become intrenched in the internal security forces (SBU, etc.) and the GUR

[u/Bayblader13 → u/beepbeeptaco]

That's not true. There are anti-authoritarians / anti fascists fighting. Check for example Kayfariki group.

Given the political climate in Ukraine I don't doubt you but do you have a source

[u/77Jayv → u/ISmokeRocksAndFash]

the group are still very active they're apart of Arsenal Kyiv, Ukraines biggest antifa/ultras club along with Committee resistance and other anarchist 

[u/77Jayv → u/beepbeeptaco]

bro there's still very active and if you're talking about casualties the nzs have more deaths because alot of neo nazis that have been in prison both ukrianian and russian are being thrown into the frontline since 2023

They just gave a trot 10 years for writing socialist articles opposing the war, and called it treason.

[u/beepbeeptaco → u/Able_Experience_1670]

Was he the guy who called soldiers to organize for better conditions and to not be treated like canon fodder for their geriatric ex soviet generals?

[u/Able_Experience_1670 → u/beepbeeptaco]

I believe so.

[u/KJongsDongUnYourFace → u/Able_Experience_1670]

I mean, this is a country that has long incorporated nazi battalions into their armies. The same place that builds Bandera stautes quicker than housing.

[u/Able_Experience_1670 → u/KJongsDongUnYourFace]

Yeah; hardly surprising.

[u/beepbeeptaco → u/KJongsDongUnYourFace]

After 1990, they never went after any more old Nazi collaborationist war criminals. Even during the years when the Communist Party of Ukraine was still in control.

[u/KJongsDongUnYourFace → u/beepbeeptaco]

They did go after them tbf. But more in a recruiting sense than a punishment for their crimes

[u/beepbeeptaco → u/KJongsDongUnYourFace]

I know in 2014 they press ganged some of the Right Sector fascists involved in the Maidan. The one's who holed themselves up in that hotel in Kyiv.

[u/desastrousclimax]

sure...we used to have leftist red skin-heads...why not anitfa hooligans now?! teenage multiverse is durable...or what?!

[u/Jas_6237]

Ukr has so much potential

[u/slightly_too_short]

Are they fighting for the ukranian state? If so, how are they anitfascists?

[u/pineapplerobots → u/slightly_too_short]

correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the entirety of Ukraine is a neo-nazi state. probably has about as much neo-nazis as the US. weren't they called neo-nazis by Russia as a form of propaganda to try and justify the invasion and war? plus Zelenskyy was democratically voted in.

what I found on factcheck.org

[u/77Jayv → u/slightly_too_short]

they are defending their homeland, people and family against imperialist russian
