    There’s a difference between critique of AES, and ultraleft dogmatism that fails because it’s just the “one drop rule” that sees socialism as “pure” and fully collectivized while all other previous modes of production are determined by what’s primary.

    Further, Kronstadt was absolutely a case of terrorism. The demands of the sailors were unsustainable privledges in war time that would have led to the dissolution of socialism in the USSR. They were also led by Stepan Petrichenko, an “anarchist” that joined the Tsarist white army to oppose socialism, alongside 2 ex-capitalists, a Kadet, a black market speculator, and an anarchist, most of whom also held anti-semitic beliefs.

    I’m not working off of assumptions, but actual research that runs counter to your ultraleft tendencies. You keep upholding anything that opposes socialism as “real socialism,” an absurdity.
