This is a shocking grovel to a far rightist regime in hock to the USA and propped up by outright fascist forces. It supports the outlawing of the Communist Party of the Ukraine on the basis that they are not genuine communists, like themselves. That is an ultra-scabby stance, as expected in a group supported by the “Ukraine Solidarity campaign” led by Chris Ford. This is an interview with a group called Left Socialist Action:

“Want to send supporters of Nazism, and pseudo-“communism” to the dustbin of history? We welcome Ukraine’s desire to break with the totalitarian past. But we urge to do it with clean hands and in accordance with democratic standards.

How do you think they will impact on the activities of the Ukrainian left?

I hope that the current situation will not hinder, but rather helps the left organizations of Ukraine. First, this law will clear the field from such a game changer, as the Communist Party of Ukraine, which only imitated left-wing ideas, not giving a chance to for the development of genuine left parties. Secondly, in the eyes of the active part of society, the persecution of someone just gives to him sympathy. The same fate may await and Ukrainian leftists, whose popularity may increase.”
