Slop.

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

i'd be a little more taken aback if it was heavily upvoted. There are many strange people on the internet and this is definitely one of them.

"HITLER NEVER WOULD HAVE TAKEN POWER WITHOUT THOSE DASTARDLY BOLSHEVIKS"

Yeah, sure, it had nothing to do with the whole continent being populated by tiny Hitlers in the making. It was actually the opposition to fascism that made the fascists do it. Return Europe to the stone age, no more internet access for the racism continent.

This isn't even Molotov-Ribbentrop brainrot, BTW, Hitler took power years before the war. I don't see how this can be anything but blaming Hitlerism on the corrupting influence of the Bolsheviks, which is advanced-level European racism (we're bringing back "Judeo-Bolshevism", but now to excuse the nazis lmao).

The load-bearing parts are them saying Lenin did a counter-revolution. Also, basically saying the USSR only got invaded due to the Soviets and not fascist expansionism.

Is this "anarchist" coming out in support of Kerensky's government???

Literally all these people care about is preserving bourgeois electoral "democracy", isn't it?

Uh, this is the kind of stuf western intelligentsia teaches you. I know people like make fun of em, but all it takes is one of these people infiltrating your organizing efforts and they will stir shit up.

Yeah, it's really a good move for the "caretaker government" to split into two factions, one supporting the deadly quagmire of a war they came to office opposing, and then support a soft military coup to suppress the anti-war movement. Really taking care there!

All people are 12 but some people are more 12 than others

If there's one thing I know about anarchism, it's that it can be counted upon to support the government.

Something tells me this is one of those "anarchy is when no laws" chuds.

If this is how you view the world then what could you ever be happy about? Like how can a historical moment that is so positive for everyone else who believes in the emancipation of all working and oppressed people become a tragedy in your eyes? Do they also rage at the Wright brothers and the Spartacus rebellion?

Or is this someone even more pathetic, who holds revolutionaries up to a completely impossible standard yet actually gets hyped for liberal politicians like Kamala Harris and Kier Starmer?

Abbreviates you to u and your to ur, but does not abbreviate for to 4 or counter-revolution to ctr-rev or government to gov. This is a sign of someone who's very inconsistent.

Someone's getting their history from that movie, The King's Man

Poor thing. Probably been abused by all those feds on that hellsite. Look at em, they've got NATO! Why don't you slip em some contemporary anarchist critiques of the early USSR.

Not to be sectarian but I think like, chompsky famously, is anarchist as controlled opposition. If not consciously something he said to epstine gave intelligence the idea

do you have a link?

Such a disrespect for the heroism of the Kronstadt sailors during the october revolution
