When anti-fascism is made illegal by the state, the state can only be called fascist.

Context – the question being asked is:

> and when other states are helping a state in which nazis became heroes, what then?

This ("nazis in Ukraine") is a tired Kremlin propaganda talking point about Ukraine. If anyone is still confused about this today, I'd recommend Timothy Snyder's "Making of Modern Ukraine" series:

@rysiek

The "nazis in Ukraine" excuse is so easy to dispell, such bullsht.

Are there racist white-supremacists (the nazis) in Ukraine? yep.
There are nazis in every country. Heck, we have em here in Canada, they came out to protest wearing covid masks.

Difference being, you fight nazis at home through anti-hate legislation and shaming and social ostracism. Until your nazis gain control and spill outside your borders, its an internal affiar.

@rysiek in any case, even as the most staunchly anti-nazi Ukrainian, what is the biggest priority at the moment? rooting out nazis in my country? or fighting to _keep_ my country?

You can't root out nazis in your country, if you _don't have a country_.
