    Ok, I guess my reading comprehension sucks at the moment, sorry. It’s not my native language and I have other stuff occupying my mind right now.

    I still don’t understand what you mean by “both of the revolutions” but my view is that there was an anarchist revolution going on and the Soviets were against it because it would undermine their legitimacy as only path toward liberation (which they were not, neither the only nor any path to liberation)

    I thought they supported the republicans but I might be wrong. That would be even worse. I still don’t think it would have been realistic to annex the iberian peninsula. From all I know, they said that it’s not time for any revolution, not that a bolshevik revolution would work.

      the soviet did support the republicans, as far as the republicans were the “original” Spanish government, they imposed a lot of stipulations to their aid tho, stipulations that would allow soviet influence and later annexation of the region as most of its military being soviet supplied and having a large contingent of soviet “volunteers”

        TIL. Thanks

        Still: what do you mean “both of the revolutions”? Anarchist and bourgeois?

          Spain had 2 revolutions, the first fascist, the second anarchist, why do you think it had a bourgeois revolution? that requires some next level not knowing anything about Spain beforehand…

            I didn’t think of the fascists as revolutionary so I was confused and asked. After you didn’t answer me the first time, I asked again. If that would have made sense to me, I wouldn’t have asked. Thanks anyway for using this opportunity to insult me.

              You make claims about what happened during the Spanish Civil War, yet are upset when called out for not knowing who even participated? after having made claims as to the motives of a good deal of the people, somehow involved?

              Also, since I didn’t actually insult you, but do want to live up to your expectations: “are you an idiot or do you just repeat everything you heard a tankie say without thinking”?
