I am a Trotskyist, ask me anything.

@Gloomy Very good question, Gloomy. Excellent.

@Gloomy Well they were anarchists, they played stupid games and won stupid prizes. Some Anarchists make useful allies to Marxists, but some have more liberal tendencies.

@Gloomy Exactly the first questoin to ask a Trot.

@Gloomy not being super familiar with this rebellion I looked it up quickly on Wikipedia, which is probably biased.

But my understanding is that this is a group that wanted the Bolsheviks to actually begin moving towards the general goals of idealized communism (more libertarian left, moving closer to stateless) as the Civil War was ending? Or am I misunderstanding / missing a lot of the context here?
