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.
And...
I know this is a shitpost, but I’ll write my dissertation with these Wendy’s ketchup packets, so help me God.
