the working class kicked the Tzar out while the vanguard-boy was chilling in Switzerland

The working class agitated by whom exactly, I wonder? Very good way to reframe a political refugee, I guess to you Snowden is "chilling in Russia"?

after being sponsored by Germany he just gave them a whole country as reward

My fucking god, are you seriously against the Bolsheviks ending the Russian involvement in WW1?!

Knowing that WW2 happened, I don't know how you can possibly defend the Makhnovshchina either, they would have been annihilated by Nazism. The Bolsheviks did the correct thing by industrializing the region, and if you oppose this you simply don't do materialist analysis of history.

the KPD even supported a literal Nazi-backed referendum just to oppose social democrats, who they'd call fascists while ignoring the actual fascists

Look! This guy is defending the murder of Rosa Luxembourg! Wer hat uns verraten? Sozialdemokraten!

In Spain the vanguard went on to outlaw and actively fight, kill and imprison leaders of every anti-fascist organization

Lmfao, I'm Spanish myself so this bs doesn't fly.

Go ahead, give me a list of the known and proven victims of Soviet repression in Spain, I'll wait. I fucking wish the USSR had been closer geographically to us, unfortunately at such long distance it wasn't possible to provide more material aid... The rest of the world just looked and you're ok with it from what I see, as Gernika was being bombed by Nazis, France and UK looked the other way. Only the USSR sold weapons, tanks and planes to the antifascists Spanish republicans to defend themselves against Nazism.

didn't move a finger against fascism until they were directly attacked

Absolute bullshit. When Czechoslovakia was invaded by the Nazis (and the Poles), the USSR proposed a joint attack on Nazis together with France and Poland, both of which refused. Stalin offered to send a million troops to France in exchange for an anti-Nazi mutual defense agreement, which France refused.

What a fucking great job at historical revisionism, absolutely unhinged.
