Ukraine has banned all communist organizations, communist symbols, communist songs (including L'internationale), etc. Even if the KPU had been a complete puppet of the Kremlin, it would be irrelevant.
Leftist politics are banned in Ukraine, as per the Decommunization efforts after Euromaiden.
It's not surprising why a country struggling to stay free of Russian imperialism would ban parties associated with Russian imperialism. This is like acting surprised that Germany banned the Nazi party.
On this post? Because it appeared in All and I think leftists are fun to argue with for the same reason I argue with conservatives. I like occasionally reminding myself of how horseshit political thought is outside of social liberal circles
I mean, let's take you. You're literally celebrating being a wumau tankie. It's basically a self-parody at this point.
If you call Russia imperialist do you have a consistent definition for imperialism? Whatever Russia’s doing the US is the hegemonic empire. They’ve invaded so many more countries, done countless coups, imposed punitive economic measures, extracted resources and stolen way more territory than the Russian federation. Same with Europe and Canada. How about you deal with the log in your eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else’s.
That's a very interesting claim! Could you add some citations so I can research this further? Do you know if all the other communist parties banned after the US-backed democratic revolution in 2014, as well as the dozen or so parties banned shortly after Russia began its unprovoked war of aggression against its democratic, sovereign neighbour are/were agents of the Kremlin as well?
