lol I have had many conversations with Anarchists and fucking plenty, absolute hoards of them fetishize both Catalonia and Makhnovia without knowing anything at all about either and when called on the facts like how both used "authoritarian" methods they disown it in a second.

Its actually ridiculously common among leftists to blindly fetishize something without actually knowing the reality and then instantly when confronted about it they go "Hah, well unlike you tankies I dont idolize anything or actually care about anything historical".
