    you do realize that all the old school kronstadt sailors went back to do those executions right? this is some straight non-sense propaganda

    edit: then not to mention they were executing infiltrators that went in and took command and control in kronstadt

      around 2,000 sailors were executed afterwards. That’s how many “infiltrators” there were?

      Do you consider Emma Goldman herself a counterrevolutionary? What’s your opinion of her?

        you’re sandwiching non-sense propaganda with a random take on emma goldman? what’s the point of demonizing revolutionaries in 2022 and bringing up someone who wasn’t there and didn’t even participate in revolution?

          I’m pro-revolutionary. I support Emma Goldman; I support the Left SRs that brought about the Russian revolution in the first place; I support the Black Army that defeated the Whites; I support the Kronstadt sailors that prevented the revolution from turning into a liberal revolution (which, by the way, the Bolsheviks originally believed it should be. They were pretty orthodox Marxists. It was the Kronstadt sailors that pushed them to embrace a more “permanent revolution” theory)

          Do you think it’s at all possible that you’re the one demonizing revolutionaries here? Just wondering, have you tried actually engaging with Goldman’s criticisms? Have you read her work? Do you consider it to be counterrevolutionary as well?

          What about Stepan Petrichenko? He lead the Kronstadt rebellion. He was also instrumental in bringing about the 1917 revolution. He’d been there throughout the whole thing. How is he counterrevolutionary when he was one of the original revolutionaries?

              Trolling? I’m genuinely asking to engage. I generally consider myself well-read on these topics and think I have a pretty critical eye on the relevant writing. So when I see something that goes against what I’ve researched for years I genuinely want to find sources that can challenge that

              You haven’t bothered to give me more than 2 sentences. I’d love to see any sources you might have for your claims
