    Just remember good guerrillas are patient and are in the fight for the long haul. Gotta be around to pop open the Victory sparkling wine, yeah

      I think it'll play out a little differently. I don't think they will be able to create the blanket nazism they want. Here in the UK for example I'm confident we have entire cities of reds or blacks that would form militant opposition if necessary. There's no fucking way Bristol or Liverpool is going to accept any kind of nazi administration for example. There's no way the trade unions will here either.

      Speaking of unions.. The trade unions across Europe will need either stamping out or taking over if they want to achieve it.

        Oh yeah I forgot you were a limey. Y'all will probably have drunken pub fights like football hooligans because some CBGB dork clobbered a blackshirt over the head with his cider mug because he insulted his favorite team.

        I don't know shit about the UK landscape, but I'm reckoning the most you'll get is dipshits going over to get yeeted by Russian rockets in Ukraine, and the smart dipshits that don't go probably will be encouraged to start organizing more aggressively in the public while draped in the Ukrainian flag, taking advantage of cold-war brainworms to call for the national defense of queen and country against Russian communism or something stupid. Lots of street tussle, probably stabbings and the like.

          The UK is probably uniquely able to avoid becoming nazified because of being an island with a strong socialist presence. That doesn't mean it won't become some variant of fascist (police state is certainly happening) but I agree with you that we're in a fairly strong position to push out nazification. Even if the state itself heavily pushed for it we would see a left-reaction occur in the form of street fights against fascists. Another battle of cable street eventually.

          I wanna say that the UK establishment also seems somewhat reluctant to jump completely on-board with it all. The media is obviously pushing it but the government itself is being reserved compared to EU and the US.

          I think they're aware that such nazification here would just create massive instability and drive even greater intent for various movements to break up the UK. Scottish desire for independence would go through the roof if English nazis started to get anywhere.

            Probably has something with your feds clapping their own cheeks with their withdrawal from the EU and seemingly a trend towards isolationism in favor for internal stability.

              Honestly kinda feel like that was a good move if the EU fucking collapses all by itself over the economic disaster they're creating for themselves with these Russia sanctions.

              Russia will nationalise everything that has ever been privatised since 1991 if it has to in order to survive. EU is fucking up badly and getting caught between the US and Russia on this and utterly fucking themselves. The EU is MUCH more reliant on Russian gas than the UK is. Russian gas is only 4% of UK supply. EU is 45%.

                Yeah it'll be interesting watching how the economics side plays out in the coming months. Like whether or not the nato nerds actually go all out and self-destruct in actually trying to hold Russia accountable, or they hope everyone forgets about this whole crisis in a few weeks and quietly undo all of the sanctions. Also Russia will be an interesting watch since it seems like their economy wants to crumble in a run-away financial collapse but is being held together with their federal intervention and freeze. It's definitely going to be one hell of a show watching the cards fall

                  If push comes to shove... Would Russia do real-politik socialism? That sounds really fucking weird but part of me thinks it's not off the table.

                    Probably make it some bizarre abomination that makes a mockery of the USSR economic system
