The post was directed to the left libertarian revolutionaries and
people who become nearer to us, who choose from various
reasons to cooperate with the authoritarians.

As the CNT-AIT is not a subscriber to the lists I sent the post
I do not know what their position is now.

This has demonstrated both Russia and Spain.
In the Ukraine, they gave us the opposite example.

The CNT-AIT were collaborationists - like many anarchists in Russia 1917-21.
Only part of the Ukrainian anarchists and Kronstadt are known to give
a "Sectarian" real good fight.

I think "the friends of Duruti" in Spain had a better road than the CNT-AIT.

The re is a small difference between the two: The leninists behaved
as they were preaching and as they were supposed to be.

The CNT-AIT behaved like oportunists/pragmatists not really
true to the anarchist road - as anarcho-communists predicted
they will do. Classical Anarcho-syndicalism like few others so called
anarchist trends are not really left libertarian revolutionaries.

The "true" ones - who did the only left libertarian revolution:
Makhno and his mates composed years later "the organizational platform
of the libertarian communists".
