Genuinely why? Why do you think you have the right to any specific marketplace?
Leaders of the Azov battalion believe the White Ukrainian population is part of the master race and have sought to exclude all other ethnicities in Ukraine from calling themselves Ukrainian. Explicitly when the war started there were reports of Azov members killing LGBT Ukrainians,
Ukraine itself, as a state, operated closer to nazi germany than any other type of government until very recently, as in when the west installed Zelensky. Since then it has stopped all democratic activities and has become a military Junta that frequently has purity purges of political positions, and since democracy isn’t a thing there anymore, these positions remain empty.
Zelenskyy has been on record multiple times praising Israel, Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, likening himself to Netanyahu(literally a nazi), praising Ben Gavir(literally a nazi), and promising to make Ukraine a the bigger version of Israel (a nazi state that has been committing genocide for 80 years).
Ukraine should not have been attacked. They are the victim. That is bad and Russia should lose. Russia, being a capitalist hellscape of the US’ making has also turned into a supremacist state bent on genocide of vulnerable populations to keep their myth up.
Both countries, however, tick off at least 10 of Ur-Fascism’s features. Neither is a good country. Neither is a democratic country. Neither is a country that cares about the working class. Both should be destroyed, separately, by worker’s revolutions.
They’re both nazi states, hence the Azov battalion, the dozens of state-built shrines to ukrainian nazi officers, and the fact Zelensky wants ukraine to be the next israel.
No, you can’t. You can go to jail for suggesting Germany’s support of Israel is support of genocide.
But specifically both in China and Cuba you’re free to criticize the government. Hell there’s a ~100k strong protest in China every couple of months regarding the government’s apathy towards Israel; and the recent while the most recent cuban ‘protests’ were more in line with ‘encouraging’ the government to just spend more money to encourage countries to break the US military blockade, they were still ‘criticism’ that the government wasn’t doing enough.
Your definition excludes them, though. In both practice and in context the Communist party of China’s constitution has more protections and encouragement for individual freedom than the US or Sweden; and unlike those two China has fully adopted the entirety of the UDHR into its current constitution.
So it’s not authoritarian by your definition. Nor is Cuba. Russia on paper also isn’t, though in practice they’re capitalist so inherently, like all capitalist countries, they would be authoritarian under your definition.
Cool, so China, Cuba, Russia isn’t authoritarian?
‘Authoritarian’ is a meaningless buzzword. There is no definition of it that includes ‘authoritarian’ countries while excluding non’authoritarian’ countries.
This isn’t allowing them on a platform, this is disallowing platforms to choose whether to allow them on a platform based on the opinions of a guy that has endorsed genocide and child rape.
I’m glad you approve of the world as it is right now and hate anything that makes positive change, but leave that to your little echo chamber known as THE ENTIRE PUBLIC INTERNET, and maybe don’t invade left wing spaces with it?
Assange cozyed up to Trump during his first presidency (despite, you know, the assassination attempts by the US).
Additionally while Wikileaks has never published any proven false information, they have left out information on purpose. During the 2016 election Wikileaks received information on both Clinton and Trump, but primarily published information making Clinton look worse while not publishing information they received on Trump and the republican party.
This editorializing is why they’ve fallen out of favor over the last decade, again despite not publishing anything known to be false; they chose to withhold information.
This was liberal misinformation, I apologize.
They aren’t. If Ubisoft wants to release a game on their own platform steam can do nothing about it.
