What can you say about Owen Jones who wants to face both ways at the same time? This must be the absolutely classic piece of political hypocrisy: Such rationalisations can be easily challenged, of course. A democratic mandate does not grant a government carte blanche to act as it wishes. This was not a coup, but a genuinely popular uprising in the country’s western and central regions, if not in its east and south. It is true that the AK-47-wielding far-right Right Sector did play a decisive role in the revolt’s success, and won respect from more moderate factions for doing so: there is a frightening tradition of conservatives and liberals helping fascists into power. The new government has seven far-right ministers, including the Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Sych of the neo-fascist Svoboda party, which the World Jewish Congress says the EU should ban. But they do not own the whole revolt, and will only be strengthened by Russian intervention.” So a fascist-led coup is not a coup because it is “popular uprising” (but not popular in the east and south). It overthrew a democratically elected government, was funded and organised by the CIA and Germany, its popularity amongst the people at large was never tested and they did not need that because they relied on force alone, they hired snipers who murdered 26 policemen and some 55 of their own supporters (the bullets which killed both sides were the same) to inflame the far right thugs even more and then without rime nor reason he asserts that “they do not own the whole revolt” and goes on to immediately contradict himself by revealing that they now dominate the government with “seven far-right ministers, including the Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Sych of the neo-fascist Svoboda party” So historically had Hitler succeed in his first coup in 1923 we could not have oppose him but when he came to power constitutionally in 1933 we have even less reason to oppose him because he was now “genuinely popular” with the German middle classes and some lumpen workers. “A democratic mandate does not grant a government carte blanche to act as it wishes. that is unless you are western pro-Imperialist then you can do as you want, as the coup government in Kiev is doing now with Obamas approval. What a cowardly petit bourgeois declassed poltroon Jones is, an apologist for fascism in the service of western Imperialism!
