@radicalgraffiti as far as I am concerned both anarchists and M-Ls have made questionable decisions.
One of those is the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact you just mentioned.
On the anarchist side there is also criticism: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Revolutionary_Catalonia#/Criticism
However, I believe that we need to engage in good-faith to archive a revolution and that we should strive to be and do better than our past comrades.
Revolutionary Catalonia was the part of Catalonia controlled by various anarchist, communist, and socialist trade unions, parties, and militias of the Spanish Civil War period. Although the Generalitat of Catalonia was nominally in power, the trade unions were de facto in command of most of the economy and military forces, which includes the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo which was the dominant labor union at the time and the closely associated Federación Anarquista Ibérica . The Unión General de Trabajadores , the POUM and the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia were also involved.
@radicalgraffiti I do not deny that mistakes were made nor do I expect exeryone else to magically put their differences behind.
For me it is important to have a broad advance on the left to mount an advance against capitalism. I am personally a libcom but will not generalize the actions of some M-Ls to everyone. (And I have several IRL M-L friends)
Also, the IRL party I help out is Trot (like most in latin amarica) which is just another pandora box of division.
