Betrayal is about the only word to accurately describe the historically documented events when Soviet-backed communist troops began firing on non-Soviet-backed communist and anarchist troops in the middle of the civil war.

Or the summary executions of individuals that criticized the growing Stalinist influence. Hemingway rather famously had falling outs with several of his friends for ignoring other friends being executed in the street.

Yeah, but that's critical thinking and using words as they're intended to be used...

This is social media and the topic is political ideology so no one has any time for such nonsense as that
