I have as great difficulty watching Rachel Maddow as Tucker Carlson and could not watch this video.
But I do know that Nechayev, was never a Communist and never claimed to be. He was what were called “Nihilists” and “Populists” and the Russian Marxists developed in opposition to their views, which were previously dominant among revolutionary opponents of Tsarism.
Netherlands about to send armoured vehicles to Ukraine. I wouldn’t be surprised if these are Bushmasters and we are going to ship replacements to the Netherlands.
Then Wikipedia must be wrong then. It describes him as a communist and nihilist. Others leave out the communist bit.
Its interesting that a person can be revolutionary, and nihilist. At the end of his revolution, deposing the rulers of the country he replaces one regime of some kind of order with a regime of anarchy! I would have thought that any practical revolutionary would want an ordered regime to replace the one helped destroy. Autocracy, dictatorship, communism, even democracy, take your pick.
They have sent armoured vehicles previously.
Reportedly, Australia committed to 20 Bushmasters. Much was made of sending them with the Ukraine flag painted on, but probably not all.
Yes, that bit of the wikipedia article is wrong. It seems to have developed from a misleading final paragraph which correctly says:
Many critics inside and out of the Soviet Union labelled his version of revolutionary socialism the one that was taking place in the Soviet Union itself, with Soviet politicians after the Stalin era admitting this themselves many times.
There are indeed references to “many critics”, including “Soviet politicians” after the Stalin era. In fact it is a major theme in the vast literataure of anti-communism. One could add Rachel Maddow as a reference (who also used hammer and sickle emblems as part of detailed explanations that the Democrats were beaten by a Kremlin stooge occupying the White House).
The wikipedia article on Nechayev also has a link to a separate article on the actual Communist attitude to what Russian Communists called the:
It is quite short and well worth reading.
Least evil explanation is a bunker buster type bomb dropped on the steel mill that was extraordinarily badly aimed.
This is how you do it. Quiet like.
Looks like a good way to ship whole planes in several pieces.
Looks like NATO is preparing to switch Ukraine over to NATO standard artillery so they can maintain the munitions.
Otherwise they’ll run out of Russian calibre shells and the Ukrainian guns will go silent.
