9 thesis on Putin's fascism, by Timothy Snyder.

https://snyder.substack.com/p/may-9-...um=reader2&s=r

I remind of what i said repeatedly before over the years. I once red that Hitler in an adress to the party in February either 1944 or 45 (I always forget the year) said that he sees no principle differences between German Nationalsocialism, and Sovjet Bolshevism.

Now compare that to Snyder's despcription of Russia being fascist in itself, but being very indifferent and uncritical on calling anything foreign that is hostile as fascist.

Russia not only has no conceptual understanding of what fascism really is - it also does not want to have it, because this way it is free to comfortably and lazily call just anything it does not like as "fascist", benefitting from the emotional charging the term causes.
