    I think this video does a great job at highlighting how working class youths are attracted to and become part of bonehead and Nazi groups. It really brings to light the fact that just plain beating the shit out of fascists is not always the best way to deal with them in a lot of scenarios.
    You seem neat, but...

    They divide us by our color, they divide us by our tongue,
    They divide us men and women, they divide us old and young,
    But they'll tremble at our voices when they hear these verses sung,
    For the Union makes us strong!

    What a dumbass.

    It sounds like its a rebellion against his mum rather than anything serious. Boys will be boys, I guess.

    The reason he's not rebelling on our side is probably b/c the school system taught him about the "Glorious motherland blah blah blah". That's why this dipshit says stuff like "This used to be a great country." Too bad they don't indoctrinate their kids in class consciousness anymore...

    Seemed more of a cult than a party.

    It's also filmed in Russia, a Country where Communism failed, unlike Cuba. Is it any real surprise that National Socialism will rise up from there?
    No more of a surprise than it popping up in America.
    "The sun shines. To hell with everything else!" - Stephen Fry

    "As the world of the spectacle extends its reign it approaches the climax of its offensive, provoking new resistances everywhere. These resistances are very little known precisely because the reigning spectacle is designed to present an omnipresent hypnotic image of unanimous submission. But they do exist and are spreading.", The Bad Days Will End.


    "(The) working class exists and struggles in all countries, and has the same enemies in all countries – the police, the army, the unions, nationalism, and the fake ‘socialism’ of the bourgeois left. It shows that the conditions for a worldwide revolution are ripening everywhere today. It shows that workers and revolutionaries are not passive spectators of inter-imperialist conflicts: they have a camp to choose, the camp of the proletarian struggle against all the factions of the bourgeoisie and all imperialisms." -ICC, Nation or Class?

    This guy seems to actually have potential to be quite smart.

    We should also realise that Russia is special in the fact that there is no petty-bourgeoisie and almost no middle class.

    No, it's a rebellion against what hee sees as the cause of his shitty socio-economic situation. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target.

    Probably not, but people respond to symbols and ritual.

    Anyway, interesting vid. As satisfying as curb-stomping a fascist might be, stopping this at the source with good old community outreach would be much more effective and won't scuff anyone's kicks. Unfortunately, I don't really see many leftists groups in the U.S. doing anything like that, especially in my area, as one could tell by the abundance of confederate flags hanging from people's homes...
