@alines You provided one source, that was from a bunch of commies on a blog.
Well the marxists literally killed and chased out
Anarchists and Trotskyist
Effectively ousting them from the country
Based on party lines
@Comrade Skeltal To be fair, the union would have collapsed if stalin hadn't done that.
What're you talking about
I think you should of cooperate with Marxists against the Fascism.
@Comrade Skeltal You are mentioning the purges, correct?
The marxists weren't there to cooperate fire
I'm talking about Spain
We are always there to cooperate.
@Comrade Skeltal Wait what? Trotskyists in spain?
Yes the militias were split up
Based on party line
This is our think. Cooperation.
Fire
The marxists in Spain
Were there to service the foreign policy of the USSR
@Firefly#9983 They did cooperate however, and they still got annihilated.
They werent present to work with anarchists
Hence why they ousted them from government
And shot them and chased them out of the country
As the war was coming to a close
They were explicitly against certain strains of communism
And were trying to prevent a situation in which the western powers would fail to ally with them
Against Germany
In the coming war
At that point, what happened really didn't matter in spain, because at that point, the soviet union was starting to pull out, leadership was collapsing, and so was the military, it was natural at that point, that the communists would have turned on each other for their differences in their beliefs.
But it had been happening, hence the conditional support in aid
People were finding our marxists security forces miles behind the front lines were more armed than the actual troops fighting the war
What?
I think anarchists had much less power and resources. They had to submit to Marxists at that point because they had no opportunity by themselves. In a different situation I would agree they could fight for their cause. But in this situation submission and cooperative agreement with other progressive forces would be more beneficial for everyone. Instead they fought Republican and Marxists and failed catastrophically all together as losers.
They were this armed, explicitly as a means to reverse anarchist actions
And take their arms
It was only later they started shooting everyone as the war was clearly lost
And notice "the communists" weren't turning on eachother
The marxists were purging radical popular ideologies
@Firefly#9983 They would have lost decisively if they still did cooperate, afterall, they did cooperate in the first months of the civil war, but were still beaten time and time again by franco and the falange.
They werent beaten time and time again by Franco, it took years.
