The
call to build solidarity with the anti-fascist resistance was renewed at a
meeting in London last week called by the New Worker
to discuss the current
situation in Ukraine. Comrades returned to the Cock Tavern in Euston to hear
NCP leader Andy Brooks, Theo Russell (NCP London), Gerry Downing of Socialist
Fight and Marie Lynam of the British Posadists kick off the discussion, which
ranged from the role of the Ukrainian left to the concrete problems facing the
solidarity movement in the Britain today.

When the Ukrainian fascists seized power
in February 2014 in an imperialist-inspired coup the bourgeois lie-machine went
into top gear to call these people “democrats” in order to mask the real nature
of the new regime. They were echoed by some self-proclaimed Trotskyists who set
up a solidarity campaign that claimed to support the Ukrainian labour movement
but largely repeated the anti-Russian hysteria peddled in the bourgeois press
to justify NATO support for the fascist regime. But attempts to build a bogus
pro-Kiev regime front inside the labour movement have failed, largely due to
the work of the Solidarity with the Anti-Fascist Resistance in Ukraine (SARU)
campaign and a number of left movements, including the NCP and Socialist Fight.
