Communist Anakin: we need you for the revolution comrade.

Anarchist Padme: and after the revolution?

Anakin: …

Padme: …

[closes eyes, gets stabed from the front, for once]

And then he murders him after the revolution and everyone who visits his funeral.

There were betrayals and brutal slayings to go around between and through the World Wars.

When I see these sorts of portrayals of communists and anarchists I always wonder why the contemporary actions of the Whites or the Fascists get to enjoy omission.

Like: Mahkno is a popular example and figure, but he and his army were a component of a larger class system. Hryhoriv, a contemporary, was a large reason for the eventual downfall of all the atamans, including Mahkno, even though Mahkno was the one who killed him.

Another example is Durruti in the Spanish Civil War, whom I admittedly don't know a great deal about. But he died for reasons that are not clear except: war. It's a topic of literature at any rate.

After the Republican forces lost the war it was Francoist forces that exterminated anarchists in one of many White Terrors of the 20th century.

Absolutely zero chance I can focus when you misuse an apostrophe so hard

anarcho-communists:

This example here by Goldman, dismayed by how Leninism came to be as anarchists like her were excluded:

Even leftist hate leftists apparently.
