I know we like to say these people aren't anarchists, almost to the point it's starting to sound like well-meaning cope
But, in this case it's as true as can be, that pro-Kerensky line about Lenin being "counterrevolutionary" is the most common refrain from liberal historians and propagandists, particularly those invested in the whitewashing of fascist movements, real cold warrior mentality
No serious historian would ever assert Kerensky had anything approaching a pro-anarchist position, and the deliberate attempt to erase agency from fascist powers points to a very ugly kind of personal liberalism that is about to mutate and turn this person into an outright fascist
That's all reddit does these days since the covid purges, spread fascist narratives
To be fair to anarchists, Russian anarchists in 1917 hated Kerensky almost as much as preceding governments.
Exactly, that Redditor is an historical illiterate
TBH, almost all takes on anarchists in Russian Civil War has a fairy tale take on history limited to Makhno. The actual history was complex and a complete chaotic mess.
In most cases it's just anti-bolshevism rather and pro anything. I think we were thought it in school as a second example of the revolution eating it's children after the fr*nch revolution.
Being pro revolution but anti Lenin just seems like such an incredibly strange position.
