Ukraines Presidential elections, therefore, pose an awkward challenge for Putins propagandists: how to explain, at least to their domestic audience, the absence of fascists in Ukraine, the crusade against whom was used by Putin as a justification for most of his recent internationally-recognized crimes against the Ukrainian people.vranyo
Notice how “nationalist” is now a dirty word in politics?
This is only astonishing to clueless, braindead state-run media types, the establishment ruling class types and their acolytes.
This is a completely predictable development and its happened at least twice, with socialist/nationalist parties taking over in two major European countries and other smaller European countries. I've refering to Mussolini, who turned his pro-war socialism into fascism and Hitler left-wing, nationalist-sytle socialism took over Germany in the 1920's and 1930's.
The Ruling Classes have created mass immigration into socialist countries. The immigrants immediately get all kinds of free welfare state goodies. This is paid for by the remaining working people and by the reduction in benefits for the native people in all of these European countries. It's paid for by rationing of medical care, by delays in receiving care. It's paid for in the deterioration of public schools, by the increase in crime, by the created divisions in society with "no-go areas" in France, UK, Sweden, etc.
It's obvious that the "charge of racism" will lose it's sting and reality can be denied for only so long. A reaction was inevitable. This reaction by voters has just started and it's going to get bigger as the fear of social disapproval is reduced and more people become willing to support the anti-immigration parties.
