The labeling isn't the point, I am using terms to describe existing processes.

The Kiev state upholds Stepan Bandera, a fascist Nazi collaborator, to the point of angering Poland. They also are destroying their soviet heritage, and as we know fascism is inherently anticommunist.

Regarding the will of western Ukraine to be dominated by imperialism, they can do so if they wish. They should not, however, believe that they are entitled to drag the entirety of the Donbass along with them into this suicidal endeavor. I respect western Ukraine's decision to become a vassal, just like I respect eastern Ukraine's decision to secede. The Donbass is not trying to prevent western Ukraine from further EU integration, they are trying to leave the far-right slide.

As for Russia assisting anti-fascists, I never denied that this is self-interested. Russia's security concerns are with NATO encroachment on its borders despite western assurances. Russia is not an imperialist country, because it utterly lacks the finance capital required to operate in such a manner, which is why their loan terms were so much better. I am not arguing that Russia is "good," I am arguing that they act with comprehendable logic.

As for your racist bits, I am referring to when you mentioned studying the "Russian people," painting them as evil inherently.

Since you accuse me of a double-standard, I'll clarify my views for you:

1. The EU, US, NATO, etc. are imperialist not merely because they influence other countries, but because their economies are run with the sole focus of pilfering global surplus value. Russia is economically more industrial and far less financialized, so while it does have regional security interests, it does not operate in the same predatory manner.

2. Western Ukraine indeed has the right to go closer to Europe and become vassals, to their own detriment. They do not have the right to drag Eastern Ukraine along with them.

3. The ties between western Ukrainian nationalism and fascism aren't simply because they are nationalists, but because they uphold Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator, oppress ethnic Russians, and target socialism and communism to serve western imperialist interests. The nationalism in Eastern Ukraine is a quest for sovereignty that does not rely on such backwards views.
