They also deny the diversity of Maidan. But by your own admission, Andy, Ukraine is not Syria, and I agree. What "diversity" of political opinion other than the divisions between conservative democrats and pro-fascist authoritarians is there in Maidan? The radical and liberal left don't seem to have any influence. > I'm not saying Marv is a tankie, I know he's not. Thanks. I think a Russian invasion, as unlikely as it is, would only deepen the ethnic divisions within the country without bringing a more advanced social system in its wake. The last violation of "territorial integrity" which I supported was the revolutionary Red Army's incursion into Poland in 1920, and that turned out rather badly. :) > But his argument, that > the majority in Maidan were pro-fascist or at least pro-rightist, has been > challenged many many times by many sources. Sure. Feel free to draw on these sources to present some factual material which can persuade us doubters otherwise. I'd like for us to be aiigned. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
