* Freikorps used the Swastika exactly as the Nazi party later, i.e. not as a symbol of luck but as a symbol for white Aryan supremacism. When Hermann Göring's close friend von Rosen 1918 gifted two aircraft with the Swastika under the wings to the Whites in March 1918, it was directly connected to the anti-Communist ideology of the Freikorps which Hitler later adopted for the Nazi party. As the swastika was already part of von Rosen's family crest, it was taken out as a symbol against Communism after the 1917 October revolution in Russia. 1918 Freikorps were invited to Finland to slaughter the poor in the Finnish civil war where most of the victims, incl. women and children, died in Finnish concentration camps. von Rosen's and Hermann Göring's anti-Communism was also inspired by US 1917 Red Scare campaign which refers to intense fear and paranoia in the US regarding the perceived threat of Communism and leftist ideologies. In Germany Rosa Luxemburg was harassed and demonized and eventually taken by Freikorps to their headquarters of the Garde-Kavallerie-Schützen-Division where, she was interrogated and tortured, and then led out where a soldier named Otto Runge struck her on the head with his rifle butt; she fell, was struck again, and then bundled into a car. She was shot in the head, and her body, weighted with stones, was thrown into the Landwehr Canal. Her body was not found until 31 May 1919. According to later testimonies, it was alleged that Hermann Souchon was the soldier who killed her. The murder provoked widespread outrage in Germany and abroad. The subsequent military trials of the perpetrators were widely seen as a sham; the main instigator, Captain Waldemar Pabst, was never charged, and Runge received a two-year sentence.
** No other country in Europe uses the Swastika officially anymore.
Is Alexander Stubb a marionette of US/CIA* in its desperate attacks on China, or is he just that dumb in his "America is still great" delusion**!
* The CIA has had (and still has) a historical presence in Finland, particularly during the Cold War, where it engaged in intelligence activities and collaborated with the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service (Supo) to monitor "leftists" and Soviet operations. Finland's strategic position made it a focal point for espionage by US led West. And as s.c. Security and Intelligence Services operate secretly, it can harbor potentially detrimental influence from more powerful foreign actors like US.
** Since WW2 US is a rogue state that after its 1971 $-theft has only worsen. Except for US wars and use of terrorism, US also has The Hague Invasion Act which allows US military to attack ICC in The Hague to free e.g. Netanyahu if arrested. US has also openly supported the worst genocide since Rwanda in 1994.
The Finnish civil war 1918 was the bloodiest ever in Europe, as well as politically anti-democratic.
In contrast the Reds were so poorly equipped that they even used wooden decoy "rifles".
Penniless and landless Finnish workers 1918 constituted the main body of the Reds.
Although Finland 1906 was first in the world* with full parliamentarian voting right as well as right to be elected, the majority of Finns weren't alloweed to vote in their local municipalities which excluded e.g. the mass of landless and penniless workers etc., and almost serfdom style crofters who rented a small lot against heavy coerced work for the landowner.
Just as in the Baltic states, the upper classes, the Whites, who were in minority, declared themselves the government of Finland with the help of German Freikorps paramilitaries, while the rightful representative power was overwhelmingly by the Reds. So Finland had in effect two governments of which one was unlawful but militarily stronger.
* US became a full represetative democracy 1984 when Mississippi finally adopted the 19th amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Today Finland happily supports the most corrupt and anti-democratic European country that uses Neo-Nazis against its Russian speaking population. Why?!
Ukraine has a heavy and an uninterrupted history of Nazi style movements since 1917 until today.
In contemporary Ukraine, various ultranationalist and neo-Nazi political groupings exist, and Neo-Nazi parties hit the peak of their elective influence in 2012j which Obama abused when he toppled the Russia friendly elected president 2013-14. Svoboda and a coalition of other neo-fascist parties received at least 2,129,933 votes, about 10.4% of the total, which made them the fourth largest party in the Verkhovna Rada, and is still represented in Ukraine's parliament. Neo-Nazi Svoboda has additionally controlled 890 regional elective positions since regional elections were last held in Ukraine in 2020. Outside of the parliamentary political establishment, a number of neo-Nazi terrorist organizations/paramilitaries currently operate within Ukraine that commit violence against their political opponents and racial minorities, such as the Russians in Ukraine. Some of the neo-Nazi groups have been recruited by the Ukrainian state/Zelensky to extrajudicially identify, search, and attack separatist groups. Among them are the Misanthropic Division, S14 group "Sich" (a Svoboda youth wing), and the Ukrainian National Union among many others. All of these groups have participated on Ukraine's behalf during the civil war against the Russian population, some as uniformed belligerents. The Ukrainian state, through its armed forces have officially incorporated some neo-Nazi paramilitaries into its ranks, such as the Right Sector's Right Sector Ukrainian Volunteer Corps (now the 67th Mechanized Brigade), the Social-National Assembly's Azov Regiment (now Azov Brigade), S14 group "Sich" into the Sich Battalion and the Ukrainian National Union's paramilitary into the Pechersk Battalion.
While the West's declining - in practice one party system - "democracies" satisfy only abt half of the population, Chinese democracy reaches at least 2/3, i.e. s.c. qualified majority, thanks to the grassroot connected meritocratic party system. Is this why we here so little about it and instead are lied about the Chinese "Communist threat".
In UK 2024 election Labour got 33.7% of the votes but 411 seats out of 650. Conservatives 23.7% 121 seays, Lib dem 12.2% 72 seats, SMP 2.5% 9 seats, Sinn Fein 0.7% 7 seats, Reform UK 14.3% 5 seats. This means that despite in 2025 only having ~20% support, Labour can continue ruling unchallenged until August 2029. What's so democratic about this?!
The CCP of today has nothing in common with Maoism. Why? Because Maoism was dictatorship - much the result of West's and Japan's attacks - while modern China since Deng Xiaoping follows the will of the people.
Here some advice for Alexander Stubb and others:
