Azov is just one battalion in the national guard, it’s not representative of Ukraine. France/Russia have MANY fascists/nazis in the military too, if that concerns you: why pretend Ukraine is an exception?
Also, note that i’m not defending a Nation State attacking regions declaring their autonomy, but from what i gathered the situation isn’t exactly as clear cut either, as Russian military/establishment invaded those regions, took control of key infrastructure (including identity papers) then organized a sham referendum for which ballots had been pre-filled “yes”. It’s straight from the playbook of colonial aggression, not very far from what the US did in Iraq/Afghanistan for example.
Azov is one of many battalions that were incorporated into the national guard. Anyone can now mount civil militias which for example the anarchists have done since the invasion. Azov and neo-nazi culture does not have practical political power in Ukraine. See also how many seats nazi/fascist parties have in Ukraine vs in Russia or in the rest of Europe. Hell they even have a jewish president and that pisses the hell out of ukrainian nazis ;)
I strongly recommend this video from a ukrainian leftist which addresses some key propaganda points.
Azov was officiallized after the coup d’etat in 2014-15, the Maidan topic, it’s not something new,and even fucking liberal media spoke about the Nazi problem Ukraine was already having and now is currently worse to the point armed civilians are hunting down precisely LGBTs, non-whites, Gipsies, Russophones from the Donbass, alleged thieves, and more.
And that’s it “the president is Jewish, therefore, he can’t be the nazi he is!” because what the Jewish call “capos” never existed, huh? How can you be this naive?
And of course, anarchists make this, they are the first to die and kill for the current hegemony, never fails lmao.
Let me guess, you think “authoritarian” is a therm that has an actual meaning in politics that actually matters, right?
You mean Azov attacking the independent countries of Russophones?

Azov is a batallion officiallized by the fucking government in Ukraine. Have you been blind this hole time, or are you just a fucking liberal?
