    Canada let these Ukronazis in specifically to have them suppress the large numbers of leftists in their Ukrainian immigrant population

      A user mentioned that one of the first Ukrainian diaspora organizations in Canada was explicitly socialist. But they had to rebrand sometime after the Cold War or something like that. They’re also apparently trying to distance themselves from the neonazi diaspora which makes me very nervous because the Nazis have institutional and financial support.

          A lot of the old communist party newspapers had papers written by and dedicated to specific ethnic diaspora communities in the United States. Jews had Yiddish papers, Hungarians in Hungarian, Germans had Deutsch papers, etc.

          They all started to disappear as the diaspora died out and their descendants were culturally integrated.
