Oh the comments section hasn't started yet? Good, I just got my popcorn.
It's mostly bullshit or horribly framed.
In the Russian revolution, anarchists were a minority of the red army, though it's true that they helped. What is unstated, however, is that there was no blanket "kill anarchists" order, instead some of the factions of anarchists, such as Makhno's, turned on the bolsheviks and thus were combatted by the red army. Kronstadt was led by a Tsarist, Stepan Petrichenko, that spread lies about the bolshevik, and their demands were tantamount to stopping the revolution (such as requiring the bolsheviks dissolve and be unable to be voted in in the soviets).
Unsure about the Mexican revolution, communists appeared to play an extremely minor role, so not sure what Deceptichum is referring to. Zapata wasn't an anarchist, and the modern Zapatistas reject the label, primarily being an indigenous movement with influence from anarchism and Marxism-Leninism.
Looks like a member of the CPK did kill Kim Chwa-Chin, yes. I actually don't know much about this, but considering he's remembered similarly to Makhno, I imagine it wasn't a one-sided affair. Seems both the DPRK and ROK uphold Kim-Chwa-Chin as an independence figure which leads me to believe that this was genuine fault on the CPK's part, but info is sparse. Anarchists and communists worked alongside each other, however, against Japan. I want to learn more about this, honestly.
As for Spain, the soviets didn't sabotage their support, and were the only ones to genuinely support the anarchists. This is an example of where weak alliance is deemed "backstabbing" by anarchists, which is a clear spin. There's a ton of legitimate friction between the soviets and anarchists here, but it's all conveniently left out.
I'm also unsure of Greece. I don't doubt that fighting has occured, but given the framing of the other events I'm not sure.
What's missing from this list? The fact that anarchists and Marxist-Leninists have worked alongside each other in Russia, Spain, China, Mexico, and probably Greece as well. It's simply false to think that infighting will never happen, or that it's always Marxists' fault, or that there aren't legitimate ideological divides, but throughout the last century and a half there's been tons of working together.
Edit: Changed CPC to CPK, not to be confused with the WPK.
I always upvote a Cowbee comment
His instance is new to the flotilla and I regret it joining. It seems all this dude does is instigate leftist division. One thing to also note is that we are not the people of the past. Anarchists and communists today probably should form some sort of alliance to combat all capitalists countries hatching from their fascists cocoons.
We very often do work together! It's important to of course recognize the differences between anarchism and Marxism (both means and ends), but in the real world orgs work together all the time.
Hell, the soviets named one of their largest rail stations Kropotkinskaya, after Kropotkin.
They seem to relish being a wrecker. Which is weird since it's only seemed to be happening recently or I just completely missed the earlier ones?
Im newish to anarchist nexus so I cant say for sure either. They also aren't the only ones. I never heard anarkiddy until I came here. Not that I really care. The right just seems so massive right now that infighting is like cheering for your ingrown toe nail.
If anyone calls you that on here, I believe it violates rule 8. But I've not seen it frequently, to be honest. My experience of spaces outside of here is that the "tankie" and "red fascist" accusation is constant, including against anarchists who make the mistake of going against the crowd in any way - though while I don't have a lot of experience with anarchist.nexus from what I've seen it's way better than a lot of other places and seems like a pretty good, chill space.
Edit: I used the search and found 34 comments containing the word "anarkiddy" and approximately 200 using "anarkiddie" on this instance over the course of its entire existence, a huge number of which were ironic, jokes, or criticisms of the word. I think most instances where "tankies" are decried probably fill that quota within a few days. That's not to say that "anarkiddy" is the only possible form of sectarianism against anarchists, of course, but I don't think the word is used frequently enough to say it's symptomatic of a particular problem on here.
The Korean one was a CPK member, not CPC, as far as I can tell

Interesting! Do you have a source for that? Not that I doubt it, I just want to read more if you found something.
Just wikipedia.

Ah, gotcha.
Kronstadt drives me crazy because once you look into it you're like oh it's just the same place? That's all.
Like most of the revolutionary sailors from 1917 had been swept up and displaced via the last 4 years of revolution and civil war? And that civil war was still going on?
Oh okay.
Yep, it was a manipulated and counter-revolutionary movement that put the entire revolution at risk.
Does the DPRK uphold him? I thought they didn't.
From the scarce information I can find in english, he's included in museums of revolutionary figures in the DPRK. By no means upheld like Kim Il-Sung and the rest of the revolutionary fighters, and not upheld the same way he is in the ROK, but generally seen as a positive.
Perhaps "uphold" is the wrong word.
Could you point me to the museum thing?
This is just a reddit post, but it's mentioned here. Trying to find something else.
He'd be in the Korean Revolution Museum, which includes the anti-Japanese resistance, and Kim Chwa-chin's most significant battle is victory at Cheongsanri, which would be significant enough to include. Can't find any exhibit lists though.
I ask just because I was told that Kim Chwajin was nearly ignored, so this'd be another in the endless stream of lies if you're correct.
That's fair! I really wish I had access to the Korean Revolution Museum's exhibit list or some DPRK textbooks, but that's difficult.
