Moscow has designated the Antiwar Committee of Russia as a terrorist movement, and its activities have been banned nationwide, according to a report by the state-controlled news agency TASS citing the Russian Supreme Court. In a motion preceding the decision, the Prosecutor General’s Office said the “Antiwar Committee of Russia movement” was created “for the purpose of violently seizing power and changing the constitutional order in the Russian Federation.”

    Damn peace loving terrorists, how dare they not want to senselessly murder an entire people and steal their land? Next thing you know they will want everyone to pet a kitty and hug a puppy!

    Hmm… what was point nine of Ur-Fascism? Oh yeah:

    For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle. Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare. This, however, brings about an Armageddon complex. Since enemies have to be defeated, there must be a final battle, after which the movement will have control of the world. But such a “final solution” implies a further era of peace, a Golden Age, which contradicts the principle of permanent war. No fascist leader has ever succeeded in solving this predicament.

    To be fair, the founders of this committee claimed that Ukraine’s military forces are the only political power in Russia and cheered for prigozhin’s uprising.

    They are not quite “anti war”
