for the millionth fucking time, disarmed and then destroyed
they only got guns from the soviets.
and i'm sure the soviet guns went to the republicans first.
republicans denied anarchists guns to defend themselves.
nobody in spain received anything else from the soviets to my knowlege
@alines How would you know?
no reports of any other forms of aid
You THINK, but do you really know?
name one example of "EVERYTHING"
can you?
@alines Don't ignore what I said pal, how do you know that the anarchists really didn't get the guns from the soviets?
"Due to the Franco-British arms embargo, the **Government of the Republic** could receive material aid and could purchase arms only from the Soviet Union. To pay for these armaments the **Republicans** used US$500 million in gold reserves."
as i thought, the soviets only sent military hardware to the REPUBLICANS
@alines And where are you getting that from?
wikipedia
Aaaand there goes all credibility out the window.
@alines Fuck off you ignorant anarkid
With your shitty ass theory
because wikipedia
During the war, 1,811 specialists were sent to Spain, including 772 aviators, 351 tankmen, 222 general-purpose advisers and instructors, 77 military seamen, more than 150 various other military specialists, 130 workers and engineers of aviation factories, 156 signalmen, 204 translators . At the same time in Spain there were never more than 600-800 Soviet advisers and specialists. 127 Soviet advisers and specialists were killed in fights, 11 died from wounds, 32 were lost, 19 people were killed in case of accidents.
@alines What source does wikipedia source in that?
@Firefly#9983 Okay?
The total number of Soviet military advisers, according to Yu. Rybalkin, was about 600 people
Not counting guns and military production consultants that helped build tanks and aviation
i think they published to the article cited from COMPASS
@alines Okay? Dosen't change the fact that is a biased and untrustworthy.
because they're tankies?
in love with the soviets and everything they did?
remember, my case is for the anarchists
not the tanks
First of all, I don't know, or even care about COMPASS, second of all, would you state that I provided a trustworthy source if I gave a source from NAZISBLOG.ONLINE? No, you wouldn't and, third, it is quite presumptious of you to ASSUME this is a tankie website, when it includes pro leninist and anarchist articles.
they aren't anarchists, they're tankies, all saying stalin gave only weapons to only the republicans
Again, presumptions.
You don't know if they aren't or are tankies, would a tankie like lenin?
where are your reports that the soviets did provide "EVERYTHING" directly to the anarchists?
Directly or indirectly, what is the difference?
@alines Restating what firefly said, they sent repairmen, tanks, soldiers, planes, medical assistance, intelligence assistance, and more.
to the republicans, for them to later refuse this aid to the anarchists
that's the difference, firefly
Knowing anarchists they might as well sell guns for food.
Why give them aid
@Firefly#9983 True, the anarchists didn't do shit.
no, of course not, they didn't build schools or militias, none of that.
o, but obviously they did
