There have been left wing battalion commanders, including of the “Ghost” and “Makhno” brigades, coming out openly in favour of a struggle against the oligarchs, the former even beginning to receive foreign anti-fascist volunteers which have now organised a Communist Platoon. Some commanders have even come out for the need for international struggle against capitalism. Mozgovoy – the leader of the “Ghost” battalion in Alchevsk – has held discussions with some anti-oligarch elements in Kiev at the beginning of November. There have also been the beginnings of an initiative to unite the left forces in Donbas with the establishment of a “Labour Front”, including elements of some left-wing brigades, the communist party, Borotba and others. Nevertheless, it is difficult to get an accurate picture of their influence at the present time; their political influence is limited as long as many of them are still out in the battlefield. ukraineantifascistsolidarity.wordpress/2014/12/16/perspectives-for-the-peoples-republics-the-external-and-domestic-struggle-of-the-left-and-progressive-forces/
