One of the dumbest aspects of learning about the Russian and Chinese revolutions is just seeing how many of the original revolutionaries got shot for being counterrevolutionaries.
The idea that guys like Peng Dehuai, Zinioev and Kamenev were secretly fascists all along, but they only revealed it after they'd risked everything for the revolution just seems insane.
