Re: Jail sentence for Ukrainian Trotskyist is an assault on free speech

Why do non-campist socialists tend so strongly to ignore the reactionary
and in some cases outright fascist connections of the Putinized "left",
including those who call themselves socialist?

Why, for example, did the non-campits socialists ignore the lefts'
collaboration with ethno nationalists and outright fascists at the 2014
AGMR conference?

Why does the non-campist socialist left ignore the fact that the African
People's Socialist Party takes money from the fascist connected Aleksandr
Ionov?

Why does the majority - if not all - the non-campist left ignore the
support for the Iran regime by code Pink and Medea Benjamin?

Why did Howie Hawkins and Bill Fletcher jr. ignore the right wing
connections of Margaret Kimberly and Medea Benjamin and why did the rest of
the non-campist left ignore that absence on the part of Hawkins and
Fletcher?

Why did all the non-campist lefts, including some from Ukraine, apparently
ignore the fact that the Porto Alegre "anti fascist" conference was nothing
of the sort and that it in fact covered up for Putin's central role in
developing fascism in Europe and the US?

As for the present issue: Contrary to Simon Pirani, I don't consider it
"beggars belief" that WSWS should be getting money from Russia either
directly or indirectly. How about others here? Do you, too, think it
"beggars belief"? And as for Syrotiuk: RKOB may know him personally, but he
ignores the apparent likelihood that he had clothing with the Russian
symbols on it. RKOB may "know him personally", although I don't see how he
can unless he's been in Ukraine. But maybe RKOB has been there. That
doesn't rule out the possibility that he's been deceived. Given that RKOB
seems to have fallen into the same mistaken tendency that most others on
the non campist left have, I think that's more likely. So, if that is true,
why should it be ignored? Just because Syrotiuk calls himself a socialist?

Or do you think we're all one big family, part of the same movement, with
other "socialists" who have links to Putin and to fascists?
