The Spanish Civil War wasn't anarchists vs fascists. There was a popular front that included anarchists, socialists, communists, liberals. The USSR-associated groups made a grab for power over the anarchist factions, which can't have helped the war effort.

There was logistical involvement from the USSR itself, which is what I thought you were referring to. I have nothing to say one way or another about internal factionalism, besides that the whole basis of your riff is still equivocating with or in fact making the Communists out to be worse than the Francoists, which I find to be in poor taste. You come off even worse than those dweebs who fellate the Makhnovist.

Do you have nothing to say to Cowbee?

My only goal was to push back on the notion that the Spanish Civil War was lost due to anarchist disorganization. I'm not sure what response the other commenter warrants, it's just a quip.
