Really good novel about a young Bulgarian who is recruited to join the Soviet intelligence services and gets sent to fight in Spain.
“Night Soldiers” by Allan Furst.
As a Spaniard, I fucking wish there had been a Bolshevik majority to prevent the fascists from winning the civil war, as happened in Russia.
Also, please remind me which was the only country to sell weapons to Republican Spain?
Was it the same country which ordered its proxies to purge the Republican ranks of anarchists and Trots in the middle of a civil war against fascists? The same country which sold arms to Republican Spain at prices that would make a capitalist polity blush in envy?
“God if only the Bolsheviks had killed more actual leftists so they were a majority, then we could have won!”

Oh, I see how you bought into the fascist myth of “el oro de Moscú”. I didn’t expect much, honestly, but parroting literal Francoist propaganda is extremely low. And honestly, as a Spaniard, fuck you for that.
Now, please explain me how anarchists have totally won all civil wars against fascism.

Imagine denying easily verifiable historical fact.
Not that MLs have anything else up their sleeve other than denial of reality. Maybe if you unperson a few more dissidents, your propaganda will really take root this time.
Dude, you’re insufferable, trying to explain to a Spaniard how he’s actually wrong about not believing the fascist propaganda myth of the USSR scamming Spain for weaponry. Anticommunists like you would literally rather swallow fascist propaganda than side with leftists.

Oh, of course, it makes much more sense to believe that the USSR, once in material possession of 3/4s of Spain’s gold reserves, started demanding payment for what was previously supposed to be aid because it [checks notes] really wanted to be nice to the Republican cause. Of course.
Not gonna argue anymore with someone who declares themselves a leftist and complains about “USSR being fascist” while literally parroting made-up fascist talking points. You’ve literally moved the goalposts from the original Francoist “the prices they paid were abusively high”, to “well it was supposed to be aid and then they started charging for it!!!”. You’re a fucking pathetic excuse for a leftist for parroting fascist propaganda. Don’t bother answering, you pro-fascist piece of shit, you’re blocked from now on.

You do realize that the two are not mutually exclusive, and, indeed, are related points, right?

Cool.
