  • Blairite labour are all posting their little eulogies about him, claiming that he was a hero of democracy. But, like, Navalny was a Neo-Nazi he wasn't gonna democratise shit. Like, why hitch your wagon to one of the Russian politicians more reactionary than Putin, especially now he's dead?

    • NATO monkey brain short circuits to pitting nazis against Russia. Any other logic or consideration is immediately hurled out of the window.

    • Because when they say "democratise", they actually mean "privatise everything and start selling out to international financial capital". Don't forget: nazis were a tool of the bourgeoisie to clamp down on proletariat and ensure private profits

      • I understand why the liberals disingenuously label live Nazis as freedom fighters, like, they do it so often that at this point I wonder if it's an involuntary reflex for them to cheer when they see a swastika.

        I don't understand why they're still doing it now he's dead and therefore no longer any use to them.
