The USSR didn’t supply the anarchists. They actively refused to give them arms and worked against them. That was the cause of Orwell’s disdain towards them. source: theanarchistlibrary.org/…/noam-chomsky-on-anarchi…

Circular sourcing, you’re quoting Orwell himself in that citation. Regardless, “the communists” referred to in this link are not the USSR, they’re the Spanish communists, you’re conflating the two again and therefore pushing the fascist propaganda that the Jewish Bolsheviks were puppeteering everything in Spain. Also, are there any quantitative modern studies of the scale of this “embargo”? Because I’ve provided sources proving that the extent of the “anarchist repression” by the USSR in Spain was about 20 individuals, and motivated by the revolts in Barcelona that the Fascists and Nazis were pushing for.
