A FB comment on this from Theodor, a German autoworker and veteran Trotskyist: this article is nonsense. 4 months are gone by. there is no "euro" Maidan any more. 4 weeks ago I was 5 days on the Maidan and nobody cared any more about "Euro...", 90% were about "holy" Ukraine and against politicians in any color. there was (and still is,in my opinion) a revolutionary situation in the Ukraine: the rulers are not able to rule anymore and the masses do not want to be ruled. but with the saying of Mao: power comes out of the barrel of a gun. and the Fascist are the best organized and armed, even when they are a minority. at the moment they have a lot of power and act very smart. Putin is driving more people in their arms. but history sometimes can speed up very fast. nothing is over. let us see whether there are elections in May and with what out come. and by the way, the box of Pandora was opened with the break up of Yugoslavia and later with the "independence" of Kosovo (I was supporting it-without the Nato intervention) in Europe. this argument in The Guardian is hypocrisy. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
