A discussion with Daphne Lawless from Fightback! We talk about a series of articles found here: https://fightback.org.nz/2018/05/09/the-red-brown-zombie-plague-part-one/ (This article contains links to others) which investigates right-wing/fascist creep into left spaces. These articles describe how Trump/Brexit, Syria, Covid and now Ukraine have been weaponized via conspiracy and other ideologically bankrupt means (such as campism) to interject reactionary politics into traditionally left spheres. We also touch on other related topics including a general despair with modern politics, globalization vs. reactionary globalist critiques and a need for internationalist solidarity and empathy for victims of all imperialism.

This audio is taken from the Youtube video version found here: What do Ukrainians Think? Maidan, Separatism and War. 21 Years of Data From KIIS. #ukraine - YouTube It utilizes data reaching back to 2001 from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology to put the voices of actual Ukrainians front and center. Too often discussion regarding Ukraine ignore the voices of Ukrainians in favor of geopolitical or ideological discussion.
