Italian Mao trying to graffiti his way to tanks. Pretty bad taste using an Australian girl as a reference because the the Ukrainian one wasn’t pretty enough – Yes, he really said that:
Si Nastya purtroppo non è molto fotogenica e ha la fronte alta, questo per il chiaroscuro e la profondità non aiuta (non ci credo che davvero sono dovuto arrivare a scriverlo) comunque si @fanpage.it e @enricomentana ho ridisegnato Nastya con la composizione ed elementi di questa bambina austaliana. (Treccine e maglia)
Using the double banners to sign the work is also a deep betrayal. Comrades like Yuriy Samoilenko, Serhiy Ilchenko, and Dmitry Petrov gave their lives fighting against the Russian aggression. There are anarchists who condemn the entire thing, Ukrainian, Belrusian, Russian, and other international anarchists working with the Ukrainian side doing triage, logistical work, and shooting Putin’s fascists in PMC Wagner, but no anarchists are fighting for Putin. Leave the black flag out of it, anarchists don’t co-sign propaganda for the territorial wars of autocrats.
It’s clear from his Italian supporters slogans and signs, this is a tankie thing. Noam Chomsky said it about communism, and now it’s true about antifascism. It’s in the interest of the capitalist to claim Russia is ‘antifa’ to smear the term, and it’s in the interest of Russia to claim to be antifascist to make themselves look better, but at the end of the day, it’s politicians telling lies on both sides.
Per arrivare alla pace bisogna innanzitutto lottare contro chi fa propaganda di guerra mentendo spudoratamente. Per la verità per la pace!
