So this came after the Bolshevik-Makhnovist conflict, where “After Nykyfor Hryhoriv mutinied against the Bolsheviks, tensions between the two factions culminated with the Makhnovists being declared outlaws and Makhno resigning his command within the Red Army.” So they were consistently breaking agreements they’d made, refused to surrender and reintegrate with the Red Army to fight the greater Polish-Soviet war, and were thus declared outlaws. Not a great look imo.
So are we not counting the Bolsheviks as “communists” when they murdered their anarchist allies? Because they certainly said they were.

Thanks for the link, I’ll read this later.
Dude responded faithfully until this comment, that’s so weird. I suppose life got busy in the utopia.
