Capitalism in Decay

Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in !latestagecapitalism@lemmygrad.ml. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.

Apparently around the time that Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine, in the spring of 2021, the OUN-B legal “hit man” in the United States, Askold Lozynskyj, wrote an article on “the complexities of Jewish-Ukrainian relations,” which in short he blamed on the “Holocaust industry.”

Five years earlier, Lozynskyj debated historian John-Paul Himka on the role of Banderites in the Holocaust, and at the first opportunity, smeared Himka of being “perceived as a self-loathing Ukrainian” and “a hired gun, if you will,” for the “Holocaust industry.” According to historian Per Rudling, “Anti-Semitism is a central component in Lozynskyj’s apologetics.”

[Lozynskyj] claims that ‘an … overwhelming amount of Soviet accomplices during the Soviet’s two years in Western Ukraine from 1939-1941 were Jews,’ alleges Jewish control over Canadian media, and charges that scholars who study the anti-Jewish violence of the OUN and UPA are paid to ‘invent demons’ by Jewish interests. He dismisses scholarly studies of the OUN’s racism with references to the alleged Jewish ethnicity of the researchers.

After the Ukrainian American former [Axis] death camp guard, John Demjanjuk, died behind bars in Germany in 2012, Askold Lozynskyj mourned him as a “martyr” of the “Jewish Holocaust industry.” Lozynskyj, a former president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (1992-2000) and the Ukrainian World Congress (1998-2008), subsequently chaired the international coordinating body of OUN-B “facade structures” formerly known as the “World Ukrainian Liberation Front” (2009-2013).

For years, Lozynskyj was an attorney for Bohdan Kohziy, a Banderite former member of the [Axis] auxiliary police. It was under Lozynskyj’s leadership that the Ukrainian World Congress organized its “International Coordinating Committee for Holodomor Awareness and Recognition.”

Arguing “The Case for Seven to Ten Million” on behalf of the “International Holodomor Coordinating Committee,” Lozynskyj admitted that this range included the unconceived children of those who died.

I think that that is a good spot to end the excerpt.
