You can write as long a comment as you want to avoid my question: how many people did the Soviet red terror murder in Republican Spain. Give me the fucking numbers, since you're the one bringing it up. Until you back your statements with data, I refuse to engage further, because otherwise you may very well be making shit up
Yes yes, you got me, the CNT-FAI was made up by me.
As I said, it's just sad that you don't know the history of socialism in your own country. Hopefully, one day you will learn socialism beyond what the party wants you to know.
Oh, so you have no actual data and the entire analysis you're making is based on western + francoist anticommunist peopaganda! "The fucking evil judeobolsheviks ruined anarchism in Spain!!!! Numbers? I don't have any, why do you ask?" You could have started there buddy
I honestly have no idea what numbers you are asking for, I said that in the middle of a fight against actual fascists, the antifascists had secured Barcelona and most of Catalonia, and the Moscow-backed party was ordered to fight the antifascists instead of the fascists... it wasn't just the anarchists, there were several marxist organizations as well, they were outlawed by the Soviets and their leaders arrested or killed, and you can find it even in your party-approved documents because those are historical facts... I'm really sorry that they don't sound so cool and glorious as all the party propaganda. I'm gonna change what I said, it's not sad that you don't know the history of antifascist resistance in your on country. It's pathetic.
Everyone is collaborating with nazis and whatever, except the ones literally shaking hands, taking pictures, and doing military parades and dividing new conquered territories with the nazis. Brainwashing party propaganda is really something.
I'm sorry dude, I can't really do anything for you, it's pathetic that you never cared to look at the history of the CNT-FAI, to believe it was the Soviets arming and training militias. They only armed and trained their puppet party and used it to destabilize that antifascist resistance amidst the fight against fascists... You had a fascist regime in your country until 1978 and you spout bullshit like "they saved Europe from fascism" lol
I'm disengaging here. But I hope one day you really do read anything beyond the pathetic party propaganda. Burnett Bolloten was a journalist aligned with the PCE living in Barcelona during the Civil War; he actually supported the PCE until he saw what it was doing, but I know the party cult tells everyone that doesn't repeat everything the party cult says is a CIA agent, so it's up to you to become critical or just blindly follow the cult. Augustin Souchy and Emma Goldman were also there at the time and wrote extensively about the subject, and those weren't even CNT-FAI members but only supporters.
The fact is that everywhere a non-Bolshevik-aligned antifascist revolutionary force arose, the bolsheviks spent their resources crushing it instead of fighting the fascists.
