Usually when you make a claim it’s up to you to support it with some kind of evidence.

Asking someone to refute something they disagree with is basically asking someone to prove a negative.

It applies to both statements. Ideally they would have posted examples of anarchists who sided with leftist and were killed afterwards, and you would have cited examples of anarchist siding with capitalists and then being betrayed.

Tbf there are probably examples of both scenarios, as anarchist by their own nature aren’t exactly a unified political body.

Because anarchists (of any kind) being betrayed by communists (of any kind) is such a common historical trope, you don’t have to do the work of gathering that information yourself. People have already done it.

I am aware, but in any kind of debate in an open forum you should avoid any position that assumes a preconceived notion. I’m not saying everyone needs to submit a works cited page, but at least giving a brief summary of the events you are using to support your argument helps eliminate any kind of miscommunication.
