That writing has some major Chick Tract vibes.
"Gentlemen, my scheme to spread godless communism has experienced overwhelming success."
"Comrade, your plan is without question one of supreme materialist brilliance and class consciousness. But how do we deal with the possibility of the population we oppress rising against us, in turn?"
"INSOLENCE! I have planned for every contingency! You have made an enemy for life, and I hereby banish you from the League of Evil Communists!"
It’s so apparent when reading these Liberal fanfics that they have no idea how communists talk
I don't know about that. I've been banned from the League of Evil Communists at least twice.
"Shoot the anarchist, for they do not love evil like Marx and Lenin have taught us" - Your average ML
Also like, this was one front of the fight against the whites, one which the Soviets didn't rely on the Makhovists for, having already established the Ukraine Front creating 3 (and later 4) new armies to fight it. I made an effort post on this a few days ago, but the civil war in Ukraine is so fucking mischaracterized
I know the Russian Communists and Ukrainian Anarchists didn't always get along, but I'm having serious doubts Trotsky ever pulled out a gun and tried to execute Nestor Makhno
Makhnovist Red Dead Redemption mod when
If given the chance he totally would have loved to. Like...you know what happened to Makhno right?
Who is this comic for, teenagers?
i mean definitely, that's probably the demographic most comic publishers have in mind
This is why for the good of anarchists and MLs we must NEVER let liberals talk about anarchism. They slander us all with this shit. Someone needs to make a comic about Shchors and the Partisans who liberated Ukraine as this stuff was going down.
I want a James Bond movie set in the 1920s, just so I can see this badass live-action Trotsky just whipping out his pistol and start blasting mofos at the end of every villainous monologue he delivers.
Forty-Seven Year Old Leading Bolshevik labor leader and anti-war activist Comrade Lenin, please let me introduce you to... uh... this twenty-five year old cartoonist and non-commissioned infantryman recovering from mustard-gas blindness, Adolf Hitler.
You two will be instrumental in my Spectre knock-off global conspiracy to kinda dick around for another twenty years before doing anything the movie audience will find interesting.
I'm not as well-versed on Soviet history as I ought to be, but wasn't Makhno's Free Ukraine in the East? Why would Trotsky want him to take Poland and not the rest of Ukraine? Great comic otherwise though.
Why would Trotsky want him to take Poland and not the rest of Ukraine?
I assume that panel was alluding to the Soviet-Polish war of 1919-1921 and implying that the red army wanted to use the anarchist black army as a meat shield in that war
I guess there was also a Polish-Ukrainian war in 1918-1919
What a wild ass time to be alive, eh?
