I am not sure what your point is. I have no problems with anarchists and I am inclined to agree with you. Sadly, the capitalist countries of Europe were not interested in fighting against fascism.
Stalin did
Again, what is your point? Did you expect Stalin to support anarchists? I am really not sure what you are getting at here.
If he really was trying to build communism, then yes.
Why would Stalin, a Marxist-Leninist, support anarchism?
Because they both want to achieve communism and fascist taking power (like happen in real life) would suck
The biggest sinners in the Spanish civil war were the capitalist onlookers who openly allowed Hitler and Mussolini to support Franco and the fascists. While it was a sad affair how the anti-fascist side broke down into infighting, it was almost inevitable with how many different ideologies were represented on the anti-fascist side. The fascist side also saw some infighting and what could be described as a coup before consolidating into a more uniform force.
Or stalinists could just not infight
🤦♀️
well, maybe I read you wrong then.
I completely agree that imperialistic capitalism is cancer - and USA and China are the current front runners...
China is a victim of imperialism. I look forward to the day China tramples the US and the rest of the imperialist Western goons.
China is an Imperialist states which defined its current borders by violence. Xinjiang and Tibet did not voluntarily federate with the Chinese State. They were subjugated by force.
China is best compared to Russia.
And the century of humiliation is long gone.
And lest we forget, the most recent Imperialism to face China was Asian. And not Western.
