Today, Reuters featured a very important item, under-reported in world media, that demonstrates the clear and irrefutable links between the Yatsenyuk regime and organised Fascist violence in the Ukraine.
Just days after 42 anti-fascist, separatist rebels burned to death in the Odessa Trade Union building as a direct result of the actions of a fascist mob, who pelted the building with Molotov cocktails, Reuters reported that:
'...Kiev drafted police special forces to the southwestern port city of Odessa to halt a feared westward spread of rebellion.
Ukraine said the Odessa force, based on "civil activists", would replace local police who had failed to tackle rebel actions at the weekend. Its dispatch was a clear signal from Kiev that, while tackling rebellion in the east, it would vigorously resist any sign of a slide to a broader civil war.'
Who are these 'civil activist'? Will they be mobilised under the watch of Andrij Parubiy, the current effective head of National Security, and former head of neo-Nazi paramilitary group Patriots of Ukraine? Will they include members of Right Sector, the third-positionist group that is the spearhead of fascist violence in the Ukraine? Maybe the mobilised 'civil activists' will include some of the very fascists responsible for the Odessa massacre?

(11,481 posts)I couldn't respond because I WAS at work , but I don't doubt that the Ukraine model, IF IT WORKS, will be what's planned for here. It's good to see the working class beginning to respond in Ukraine. That's what's been missing to balance out the fascists.
