[[b]This post refers to the [u]European[/u] left. It is unrelated to anything in America.[/b]]
In 1936, when General Franco's Catholic butchers terrorized Spain to establish a fascist tyranny, left-wing people from all over the world (including America, the Lincoln Battalion!) went to Spain, to fight against those brutes, and to help defeating fascism.
"Civilized" countries such as France and the UK did not provide those fighters with heavy armament, in order not to upset Hitler. The Spanish republic lost the war, as a result, but at least those left-wing men and women fought before they were defeated. They stood up against evil.
Today's leftists stink like rotten meat. They see those brave Ukrainians as NATO's useful idiots, they try everything in their might to prevent their governments from sending appropriate armament to Ukraine ("hey it's because we are so peaceful!", "Hey it's because Vladi has nukes!").
Today's left just licks the blood off of Putin's boots. [b]Putin's leftist poodles: You are disgusting. I despise you.[/b]

@helenS If you're passionate about it, why aren't you volunteering to fight in the Ukraine, just like the American/Canadian volunteers did in the 1930s (these folks were not only leftists, they were primarily communists)? This is a serious question.

A couple of things:
1. I said: [i]they were [b][u]primarily[/u][/b] communists[/i]. The keyword is primarily.
2. Orwell was [i]leaning[/i] communist, when he entered the war, and as a result of the atrocities committed by the communists, he became anti-communist post-war.

That is no excuse. Come on, you need to save the world from Russian tyranny! That's what you're asking all your (ex) left-wing friends to do!
Has it ever occurred to you that they have children and priorities, too? Maybe people just don't want their loved ones (and themselves) to get, you know...blasted by nukes.
