    I certainly hope fascism will be destroyed, but invading sovereign territories with a brutal military organization is certainly not how fascism is fought. If anything, it strongly resembles fascism itself. I also hope if fascism in Ukraine goes down (where it’s a minority movement), it will take down fascism in France/Russia/USA/China (where it’s a lot stronger).

    I know people who were tortured by russian services: chopped fingers, electricity… I mean it’s nothing new and it’s not just happening in Russia, but you should certainly be aware that the Russian government is doing that to its own people and that the most determined antifascist militants have all been jailed or tortured, and many had to flee Russia fearing for their lives.

    Putin is a fascist: he was previously in KGB (not exactly a socialist organization) and has been key to merging State and Corporate power after the USSR collapse and USA-pushed privatization of all resources. I’m not asking you to like/accept western empires (burn them down, too!) but why the hell would you present Putin as a figure of antifascism?!
