Neo-fascists have become involved in the Euromaidan protest movement and we can't turn a blind eye to the danger that presents.
....
Now neofascists have become normalised as a legitimate part of the movement, they have become heroes of the people's struggle against authoritarianism and police brutality .
...
Previously marginal neofascists from the militant Pravy Sektor (the Right Sector) are now involved in negotiations with Ukrainian law-enforcement bodies.
...
Instead of downplaying it, instead of justifying and normalising strategic co-operation with neofascists, progressive intellectuals must come clean about the "diversity" of the movement and attack the far right, not those who dare to speak about inconvenient facts and dangerous tendencies.
