    We all understand your point of view, everyone’s a Nazi if they are against Russian/Chinese imperialism.

    I don’t think that at all. Being “against” Russia or China doesn’t per-se make someone a fascist. I’m not confused about what fascism is, and I don’t use it as a floating signifier for stuff I don’t like.

    But neither Russia nor China is imperialist. The imperial core is imperialist, otherwise known as the Global North.

    .
    Over 20 years go Russia—at the time lead by Putin—wanted to join the imperialism club, but the US rejected them: Ex-Nato head says Putin wanted to join alliance early on in his rule. Now Russia, rejected by the Global North, has no choice but to join with the Global South as allies instead. This shift in allegiances has been massively accelerated by the sanctions of this war.

    Ukraine has a thriving Jewish community

    So fascism means hating Jews? What about the fascists genociding Palestinians in Israel as we speak?
