I’m trying to learn more about the Russia/Ukraine conflict. In the articles that I find that seem to be critical of Ukraine, there are a few that are right wing that seem to have similar viewpoints as what I’ve read on here or in the more leftist articles.
For example this piece from National Interest, or this from the CATO institute.
There are others that aren’t flagged as right wing that are critical, but it’s just got me wondering, why would right wing politicians/publications perceive these things similarly to how some communists would when the ideologies of both are so extremely opposite?
Disclaimer: I’m not pro-ukraine at all, but in my search for info that’s not super pro-Ukraine propaganda, this is the stuff that comes up for me
Antisemitism (or fascism) is the socialism of fools, and fascists capitalize off of it. Hence why Adolf Hitler called his party the “German worker’s party” as well as “national socialists”. Even the name Volkswagen translates to ‘people’s car’.
Especially in the US although you’ll see it everywhere, you’ll see CHUDs consistently go “nuh uh, we’re the REAL party of the working class, and the enemy isn’t necessarily the ruling class, it’s just that too many of the underclass rubes achieved power they were never supposed to, and that’s what’s lowering your standard of living!”. At least sometimes the UK Tory party’s sell is “you are elites like us too, let’s stick together and put those uppity lower-class poors in their place.”
