    I made no value judgements. I was simply presenting the facts, because nothing happens in a vacuum. I don’t know how that can be extrapolated to me supporting CIA actions or taking issue with the Finnish socialists. When you take any action, you have to be prepared for reactions, positive or negative.

        Well now that’s being twisted. We were talking about the soviets supplying weapons in a civil war. I was not making value judgements on that action.

          Finland was granted independence by bolsheviks in 1917, and Finnish reactionaries immediately proceeded to drown their revolution in blood. After doing this they joined the white army general Yudenich preparing attack on Petersburg, but ultimately backed off since Yudenich superior, Kolchak, didn’t even wanted to hear about independent Finland. But guess who supported that anyway? Mannerheim.

          Finland was in every antisoviet bed possible since 1918.

          Finland was moving close to Germany before the nazi rise because Russia was fueling a Civil War in finland. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

          This you?

      You have stated unsubstantiated claims in favor of the white army.

      When it comes to suffrage the socialists wanted all women to vote whereas the nationalists wanted only the “sophisticated” women to vote. link

      What of value have you said here or elaborate on the knowlege base for us all? For the good of all of humanity it is good to create common understandings to reduce senseless violence.

      I would suggest you to look into dialectical materialism. If you think that we communists don’t understand that actions have consequences, please do some research. Someone with the most basic understanding of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis understands that synthesis is the result of a thesis and antithesis interaction.
