The CIA spent the postwar years doing all kinds of gross things, one of which was trying to move as many nazis to Ukraine as possible, with the specific aim of creating a fascist uprising in the USSR and possibly a Ukrainian fascist break-away state. They accelerated this program after the USSR coup, and the result is a modern Ukrainian state with outright neo-nazis in positions of power over the police, cities, and entire government. This is also why Ukraine doesn't bother to do the hilariously simple trick of just telling their troops to stop wearing white nationalist, nazi patches, or perhaps suggesting to volunteers using assumed names to stop picking "Adolf" or "Dirlewanger" or whatever - they are all part of an explicitly fascist national project.
Wow, that's... incredible. The CIA has done some fucked up shit, but that's something else entirely. Do you have a quality source on this? I'd like to follow up on this claim.
Edit: holy shit
This exact thought has created hundreds of thousands of marxist-leninists over the years. Stick around, you'll have a lot of these moments.
If you also accept people that feel closer to the anarchist ideals (not the "I'm free to do what I want, no rulez!!" type), I'll do.
I love my anarchist comrades.
I'm still in the infancy though, so, don't mind too much if there's some bad takes here and there; they'll eventually stop after more reading.
That tends to be how it goes. Bad takes in good faith are usually met with direct explanation. Hopefully that is your experience as well.
Yeah, you don't have to agree with everything to still be family.
