A 22-year-old German politician who secretly served in Ukraine’s army now faces expulsion from the pro-Russian Alternative for Germany party after calling his own leadership “Russia-kissers.”
In a somehow related news, Hungary Moves to Jail Its Own Citizen for Joining Ukraine’s Fight Against Russia
This is what you get from the far-right (and the far-left) I guess.
Who is far-left in this case? Both Orban and AfD are right wing nuts…
That was only hypothetical. In that case they are all clearly far right, but in principle I guess the far left wouldn’t show a different stance imho.
What far left?
“in principle I guess” kinda gives it away.
What are you even talking about? The left is supportive of Ukraine.
Center left maybe. Far left in many countries are not
That’s not because they’re pro Russia, but because the “far left” is anti-nationalist and both Ukraine and Russia are fighting for each their nationalist cause.
Ukraine is fighting to not be genocided.
Russian Imperialist apologia is insane, but especially insane when it comes from so-called Leftists.
Do you think that Russia is the only one doing propaganda?
Clearly no one said that.
Russia’s genocide is well documented from multiple independent sources.
I’d like to think the far left would prosecute people for volunteering for fascist armies
This is the Russian propaganda narrative of “de-Nazification”.
It’s also the Nuremberg trials, dipshit.
Also the much better version the Soviets did.
Yeah, that’s why people on the left hate Russia and support Ukraine.
We do?
I hate the capitalist fascist order that russia is a part of. Doesn’t mean I want more war. I’m not a lockheed martin simp
That’s all armies
What? Hit c/anarchism or something and ask what those guys would think of volunteering in the Ukrainian army. You might be thinking of tankies, which are one subset of the far left but not in any way a dominant one because they’re also nutjobs.
A large part of the German left opposes to send weapons to Ukraine, and the German party ‘Die Linke’ (‘The Left’) urges the West to open.‘peace negotiations’ in collaboration with China (completely ignoring that Beijing is Russia’s strongest ally with apparently little interest in peace while acting increasingly aggressive against Taiwan and in the South China Sea).
There are certainly others left and right as we can see in the article, but extremists on both sides reject democratic values.
I can’t speak for the German left in general, but Die Linke absolutely supports sending weapons to Ukraine. The China thing is a very reasonable position, not unassailable but not in any way against democratic values. You seen to already have your conclusion made up, but the facts don’t support it at all. Again, literally just go ask the people on c/anarchism or any other non-tankie leftwing community what they think. And to be clear, anarchists are so extremist they literally think all authority is evil; these guys are not moderates.
Maybe we could ask Israel to do it. They’re also a Russian ally and the idiots centrists just loves sending them weapons (it’s good for the DE40)
How dare these extreme leftists be against war??? How radical. Who else is gonna pay for our weapons industry?
They should really start accepting democratic values like “war”
“War bad.”
What a bold and nuanced understanding of reality. Get this lemming a Peace Prize!
