He's an anarchist, not a Stalinist. He didn't obsess on fighting Communism because there was nothing anybody in "the West" could do to get rid of it, and because there was no chance that anything "the West" put in place instead of Communism would be better for the world.

The ascension of Putin proves him right on that.

It isn't possible for "the West" to decide who should lead every country, and Ukraine would not have been better off if Bandera had prevailed there- Right-wing nationalism- like Bandera's, Hitler's, Franco's Mussolini's, Trump's and Putin's- is just as bad as Stalinism/Maoism.
