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.

And prevent a radical revolution in Spain

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.

@Comrade Skeltal Is that to say that communism from the soviet union WASN'T radical?

And partiality on behalf of the embarking powers

@Deleted User They did provide some resistance.

In spain, no

It wasn't radical

@Firefly#9983 Some, sure.

They literally reverse anarchist collectivization
