Oh, when did you post these prior?

When I see on Lemmy a post about immigrants in Spain (my homeland) dying in summer due to heatstroke being overworked at 39°C, I'll believe you. Until then, shut up, propagandist
That's when it was under Chinese ownership, remember they had to sell the US Tiktok to a Yankee company

Firsthand accounts not detailing any numeric information and replicating questionable "events" like the unproven torturing of Andreu Nin? I'm asking you for more sources, come on, throw em at me
Yo, you still haven't replied. Give us the evidence of mass repressions against anarchists by the Soviets during the Spanish Civil War.
"The CNT-FAI was heavily repressed by the Soviets. Source: CNT". Well, that's not too convincing, I expected some historical research providing numerical data, not the opinions of a CNT member.
Modern estimates of NKVD murders of whom they considered counter-revolutionaries in Republican Spain during the Civil War show 20 proven murders by a total of 10 agents. The book you quoted has no sourcing, it's just the ramblings of a CNT member that we're supposed to take for true. It propagates made-up speculations such as the supposed torture of Andreu Nin at the hands of the Soviets (zero evidence), and makes no effort whatsoever to bring any number to the total of anarchists repressed. It talks of 3500 fascists repressed by the SIM (a Spanish organization, not Soviet), so Anarchists were likely numbered at most in the hundreds, but again, you provide no numerical evidence for your claims.
It's unbearable as a Spaniard hearing these hearsay "if the Soviets hadn't sabotaged the anarchists, they may have won the war", as if the Soviets didn't provide the very weapons the Anarchists were using. No effort in actual data recounting is done, just shameless anti-Soviet propaganda based on literal fabrications like the torturing of Andreu Nin, and the total disregard for the actually logical repression of some anarchists and Trotskyists who, knowingly or not, were collaborating with the Nazis as proven by Harro Shulze-Boysen, a German spy who spied for the soviets and was executed when the Nazis uncovered that he had warned the Soviets about a Nazi plot to have an anarchist revolution in Barcelona to weaken the Republic and make the defeat easier: Link
This was the same insurrection independently reported to the Centre by the Soviet embassy in Berlin after receiving an anonymous tip-off from their agent Harro Schulze- Boysen. From contacts on the Luftwaffe General Staff he revealed that German agents had also infiltrated Trotskyists circles in Barcelona with the intention of encouraging their putsch
Now, bring some numerical historical evidence supporting your claim of massive repressions against anarchists by the Soviets which led to them losing the war
Yeah, that's a common sentiment by idealists facing real, material revolutions. Kropotkin and Babushka Breshko-Breshkovskaya had similar fallouts with the Bolsheviks after 1917.
How big of a part was it the Soviets sabotaging the CNT-FAI? Can you point to the extent of sabotage and the main avenues through which it happened? It's an accusation I hear thrown around a lot, but when I ask about the actual sabotage and what it consisted of and its extent, I rarely receive an answer

Could you elaborate on the "coming away jaded" after the Spanish civil war? I'm interested on an outsider's opinion (assuming you're not a Spaniard like me)
"Got disillusioned" is a very mild term for turning into an MI6 stooge and reporting communists to intelligence agencies, the fucking prick!
This post wasn't posted by "fake commies", it was posted precisely by libs. It's atrocity propaganda of working conditions in China to make people dislike the country, and I posted my comment because it's patent that you don't care about the living conditions of the working class as much as you care about doing dunks on China because you dislike its form of socialism
