    • You believe that communists stabbed Makhnovia in the back

    • You believe that Makhnovia was an example of anarchist principals put into practice

    • You have no idea that the Makhnovists had a secret police, that they engaged in the summary execution of political rivals, and that committed genocidal acts against German settlers and especially Mennonites in Ukraine

    • You believe that communists stabbed the Spanish Republic in the back

    • You believe that major parts of the Spanish Republic are an example of anarchism put into practice

    • You have no idea that the Spanish Republic had forced labour camps, extreme levels of control over labourers and the movement and spending habits of the people, zero desire to lose their colonial holdings over the part of Morocco that was their colony because they aspired to colonise more of Africa and that they rejected overtures from the Moroccan people who sued for independence with very favourable conditions for the Spanish Republic, and all the apparatuses of state that you would expect from a typical government

    • You are unable to provide a functional definition of fascism without looking it up

      That’s a pretty big assumption that they’d have enough historical knowledge to even know these were a thing.
