And only serves to defend the western white Bourgeoisie from the much more serious and theory-oriented "tankies" whom gather their theory from actual research and actual dialecticism. In the past and the present, they're perhaps the biggest force advocating anti-communist narratives.
Makes you wonder why the most committed anarchists would go to the Ukraine to fight if they weren't really anarchists in the first place....
