you know the story, there were enemies of the state due for execution, stalin signed off on it, and he made a personal note on the papers to kill a hundred thousand more, "i don't care who"

that means indiscriminately kill counter-revolutionaries

kulaks had it coming

Haha yes lets just allow the people who want to remove us from power to freely roam

Im sure that will never go sour

this guy gets it

My problem with Stalinism (or Vanguardism, really) is the fact that revisionists almost immediately came in after Stalin's death; too much power is placed in one group when it should be placed on the masses as a whole (Platformism)

and i guess the makhnovians were also counter-revolutionaries.
the hungarians were counter-revolutionaries.
everyone i don't like is a counter-revolutionary

makhno literally was and so were the hungarians they literally fought the red army

but on rushack

Also the Anarchist revolution in Spain were also purging themselves of counter-revolutionaries

the anarchist were the counter revolutionaries

they broke away

Look up anything about the Spanish Civil War that focuses on the Anarchists and you never hear the end of "muh churches", "muh dead nuns", "muh landowners"

they fought for the liberation of the proletariat, but with different approaches, but i guess that constitutes being counter-revolutionary.
and i guess capitulating to the state makes you a revolutionary

Didn't Lenin personally have no real problem with Makhno?

makhno is the most respectable anarchist, but I still strongly disagree with him and he does not deserve any power

trotsky killed makhnovia, in all honesty

Lenin did

Trotsky convinced him he was a threat though but told him he was useful for now

then he fucking killed him lol

in the tankies' collective mindset, capitulating to the state is REVOLUTIONARY

they were fighting a civil war

with many factions

Can we talk about Holodomor yet?

any factions that is not yours wish to userp yours

and is a threat

Without Makhno, Ukraine would have probably had a more prominent counter-revolutionary movement tbh

ukraine alone could not stand to the red army no matter which way you put it

not much would change with or without the anarchist

they lose in every situation

because EVERYONE is trying to kill them.
BIG SURPRISE

yeah

How might you explain the failure of ML movements later in the 20th century?

NATO and modern technology

you couldnt just fly over to Russia and send tons of equipment in
