Elephant in the room #48 - Anti-authoritarian left in Ukraine before and during the war
ID 122051
The full scale war continues in Europe for 446 days. And even though Putin's plans to conquer Ukraine on a couple of days failed, Kremlin is not giving up their plans on taking over large parts of the country. In the struggle against invaders, a lot of different powers took to arms, including leftists and anarchists. With the anti-authoritarian unit gone, most of those people were scattered around different units on the front lines. But their politics are not lost and many still stick to their ideas despite different challenges.
In this episode our interview partner is Lesik from Kyiv, who became politically active more than 17 year ago and through all those years was fighting different struggle for justice and equality. Through his eyes, you can see another side of political activism in Ukraine. We participated together with Lesik in some protests in Ukraine and outside of it many years ago, but the bonds of struggle are strong. Our comrade remain as sharp in his political perspectives as ever and even dares to challenge Noam Chomsky to a duel... a dialectical one, and invites Slavoj Žižek to visit him with a possibility of sleeping on a coach.
This interview is dedicated to our comrades that lost their lives in Ukraine fighting not only for freedom of people, not states. We remember them and will forever carry them through our struggles.

besser mal reinhören vor sendung / listen before sending

| DEU:das interview lief gestern auf coloRadio. ich ringe noch um passende worte der kritik. empfehle den ausschnitt 47:50 bis 52:30 für einen ersten eindruck. jenseits der einordnung selenskys als "jüdisches chamäleon" werden da - recht frei übersetzt - kritikerinnen eines kriegs bis zum sieg über rußland je nach ideologischer herkunft als entweder per kugel / messer / bombe oder aber durch bildung von ihrer falschen Position zu heilen dargestellt. puh. ************************ENG: the interview was broadcasted yesterday on coloRadio. i am still struggling to find suitable words of criticism. recommend the excerpt 47:50 to 52:30 for a first impression. beyond the classification of selensky as a "jewish chameleon", critics of an war course until russia is defeated are - quite loosely translated - portrayed, depending on their ideological origin, as being best healed from their wrong position either by bullet / knife / bomb or by education. phew. | |

Jewish chameleon?
|
|
| The person never calls Zelensky "Jewish Chameleon" it is "jewish comedian" he is talking about in the first place. As for bullets and knives - he is talking that people who were working for fascists were confronted with bullets and knives 100 years ago. | |
