The four people involved are all members of the Party of the Swedes(used to be known by the name National Socialist Front) who is close allies and currently co-operate with Svoboda and the Right Sector in Ukraine. In fact, one of the four is currently wanted internationally for the attack and is known to be housed by elements of the two groups in Ukraine.

What parts? Because the fact that Nordisk Ungdom and Svenskarnas Parti have sent down "volounteers" to help the Euromaidan and post-coup government is pretty well-known, they're even promoting it. One of their big shots, Mikael Skillt, got captured a couple of days ago by former berkut, seperatists and others and got robbed and beaten badly.

I mean, this ain't really news the fact that nazis are part of the Ukrainan government and have support from different Swedish nazi groups; what exactly is controversial here?

That's a really different claim from "Swedish nazis trained by Svoboda in Euromaidan". In fact, it's kind of the reverse, that Swedish Nazis have gone down to 'help' Euromaiden.

Well, some of them, including wanted attacker Andreas Karlsson, are going through/have gone through some military training since they arrived down there. Including knife combat, IIRC.

EDIT: They've also had Russian neo-nazis, primarly from C18 and B&H, come to Sweden in the past decade to practice close combat and similar stuff but at least those guys are not officially supported by their government.

That's not Croatian army uniform, just a camo shirt with HOS patch sewed on one shoulder. The white power symbol on the other shoulder isn't used or well known in Croatia. HOS was a Croatian militia during the early stages of the recent war, but they didn't commit any atrocities to my knowledge.

The World Elections blog entry on Hungary's recent legislative election is up. tl;dr: Fidesz has a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, the so-called left wing Unity party (more accurately, the hodgepodge and unorganized opposition to the left of Fidesz) is going to have a very hard time in uniting to form a credible opposition, and Jobbik got 20% of the vote. Jobbik is now the only alternative to Fidesz, which is an authoritarian right-wing party to begin with.

Hungary is hosed.

Yeah, it wasn't talked about much so far but 65% of the vote and 75% of the seats being taken by a hard and a far-right party is indeed very serious and if anything shows that the growth of the far-right has not abated one bit.

Dewinter is actually a skilled politician, I can't believe he would go campaigning with these symbols on his jacket. I know it's just a Celtic cross, but in this specific case it obviously has far-right connotations. It's like he just doesn't care anymore.

Not really. Judging from news headlines you'd think that the demonstration was carried out by a German panzer division and not a pathetically small group of 100-150 neo-nazis. Some 30 people were arrested, virtually all of them from various autonomous leftist groups. One cop was injured after someone used a whistle pipe next to his ear.

First outright neo-nazi demonstration in Denmark for a couple of years went off swimmingly this saturday. And by that I mean they got their asses kicked so bad the cops had to throw them in paddy wagons and ride them out to avoid bloodshed.

In Portugal a kid tried to make an anti fascist stand against PNR in Porto, got the poo poo kicked out of him and then the little shits bruised themselves and went crying to the police over how a phantom group of people opposed PNR.

Most news report how PNR was stopped by antifas in a street clash.

They are legal, but the police has to approve of them, same as with all demonstrations. However, freedom of assembly guarentees the right to protest, even if police don't approve and a number of demonstrations have carried out succesfully in spite of such decisions.

Wikipedia on Mussolini's doctrine of fascism posted:

In fascist thought, the principle of class collaboration is combined with strong nationalism. The stability and the prosperity of the nation was seen as the ultimate purpose of collaboration between classes.

Not at all. On the other hand, class collaboration is one part of fascism but class collaboration doesn't equal fascism.

It's a pretty smart move. The Ukrainian military has no idea what it's doing. I think we might be seeing a new kind of warfare where states fight primarily with non-military forces, with the military augmenting them for certain specialized operations. Which is how the Russians are doing it.

The pro-Russians aren't combining class collaboration with strong nationalism?

It's fine and dandy being grossed out by Right Sector, Svoboda and the likes, but it's not like the other side is any better on that front.

It's gross and scary but it smacks more of warlordism than fascism. This is more an example that law and order and cohesion are deteriorating to the point where oligarchs are just fielding personal armies to follow their interests and goals.

The actions that are ocurring in Ukraine are brutal enough that you can't dismiss the arbitrary violence and murder of civilians just because you support one of the sides. My support for the struggle against Assad will never make me go "heh, they were collaborators" whenever a video pops of Al-Nusra executing random people or bombing random buildings and declaring them "totally enemy headquarters".

Actually yeah I can "dismiss" the killing of people who were trying to kill other people. Because they were motherfucking spraying lead into a crowd, and then ran into a building to continue spraying lead.

And the protestors were just aimlessly surrounding a building from all sides and by chance just had enough molotovs to set it on fire and by chance most of the dead weren't actually shooting anyone.

But since they were payed by that oligarch instead of this oligarch that means their charred bodies are a vitory of liberalism over Russian imperialism.
