A pretty good piece here < http://www.dreamdeferred.org.uk/2014/05/ukraine-slides-towards-civil-war-there-is-no-good-side-to-choose/>: '... neither Euromaidan nor the pro-Russian movement in the east has raised the sort of politics and demands that could unite workers across Ukraine. They remain entrenched in the traditional political divide -- formerly expressed in voting for parties aligned with the two wings of Ukraine's oligarchy: one whose interests lie with the EU and the other whose interests are closely tied to Russia. Now this dead-end politics has been militarised. And this has a dynamic of its own -- one that is spiralling out of control as the formal state structures implode helplessly.' ________________________________________________ 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
