As some of us celebrate the #Soviet victory over Nazism, let us remember the filthy role of the Canadian state, before, during and after #WWII. Prime Minister King, a vicious anti-Semite, was the most pro-appeasement leader in the British Empire, and was fond of Hitler Image
The Canadian state's interest in WWII was to use the war to whip up #nationalism and stamp out #socialist organizing at home, and to defend British #imperialism abroad. The Canadian state was happy to take on a founder of the Nazi Party, Otto #Strasser, as a political advisor. Image
Strasser's plan was to stage a #coup, so that the #Allies could cut a deal with the 'good Nazis.' But Strasser was a fraud, and only reluctantly, when no 'good Nazis' could be found to cut a deal with, did the Allies invade. The cream of the Nazi army was defeated by the #Soviets Image
Immediately after the war, the Canadian state lost whatever aversion they may have had previously to Nazis and fascist #collaborators. With the help of the #Vatican, PM Louis St Laurent personally intervened to bring the Slovak #fascist and war criminal Karol Sidor to Canada. Image
Most critically, the Canadian state admitted tens of thousands of Ukrainian Nazis, former members of OUN / UPA who were hired by companies to put down strikes and violently attack union organizers. Anti-Nazi Ukrainian Canadians were a principal target, and suffered many assaults. ImageImage
Nazi collaborators were not just tolerated, but sought after. Latvian fascist Alfred Valdmanis was brought in to run the economy of #Newfoundland, but was soon found to be totally corrupt. He was jailed for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars. heritage.nf.ca/articles/polit… Image
One could go on and on. Suffice to say that the Canadian ruling class today has zero qualms about funding and arming outright Nazis in #Ukraine. They try to cover it up with empty phrase-mongering about 'democracy' but it's a fraud.
С Днём Победы!

An upcoming conference in Washington DC on April 25th and 26th puts paid to all the phony claims which American imperialism has put forward about #NATO's war aims in Russia. The conference posits building no less than 41! 'post-Russian' petty states! 1/7

Good morning Twitter! I'm back! Profile and DMs are fully restored. Now to share with you the images that seem to have got be banned (when Tweeted in a thread including a right wing Ukrainian journalist at the Kiev Post who had blocked me for tweeting our wsws article on Ukraine)
The jorno took offence to my characterization of Ukrainian nationalism as being dependent upon world #imperialism. But facts are facts. Here's a primary source - from the WWII report of the Vice US Consul to #Poland about the tight relationship between #OUN-M and the #Nazis.
Next, a declassifed 1946 #CIA secret history of the #Ukrainian #Nationalists since #WWI, used to brief the OSS in 1946 about possible recruitment of #Ukrainian ex-Nazis into the OSS, later the #CIA. #OUN was subordinate to #German #military #intelligence since the early 1920s.
