banning the Communist Party?
Not that the old-line Stalinist CPs are very revolutionary or even radical anymore, but apparently even left reformists are too much for those "democrats" in Kiev. All I've heard is how they're NOT fascists and then they go and pull a VERY typical fascist stunt. Before the Jews, before any ethnic minority, before ANYBODY else, the fascists go after the communists, socialists, and unionists. Like they're attempting to do in Ukraine.

Fascists first action upon taking power is to ban the Communist Party. Happens every time.

Because fascists know that the ONLY effective resistance will come from an organized working class. Which is what communists, socialists, and unionists do.
