    Drag read the book cover to cover and didn’t see anything about the revolutionaries being the same people as the fascists, apart from that one sentence. If you say there’s proof in the book, prove it. Drag read it and couldn’t find any. Drag is starting to think you’re the one who didn’t read it.

      “The” book? I linked several. drag is trying to draw a hard demarcation within a group that worked together, I already shared them with drag. Doing a “they weren’t Nazis, they just sided with the Nazis against the Socialists” bit to defend pro-fascist, anti-communist murderers is dishonest.

          Englighten me, drag. What did the counter-revolutionaries spend their time doing when they weren’t working with the Nazis against the Socialists?

              Maybe drag could stop defending Nazi sympathizers that lynched Communists and Jewish people as “revolutionaries.” If the Soviets gave power to the Nazi sympathizers, the pograms would have continued. Seems the origin of the Nazi problem was the Nazis, and not the anti-fascist Red Army.

                  I think lynching the Communist, Soviet officials and Jewish people is a pretty Nazi thing to do, especially coming from people that sided with the Nazis in World War II and were being made to pay reparations for doing so. drag has no coherent ideology other than getting upset at Communists to the point of defending Nazis.
