    Khruschev didn’t decide that the iron in the factory #3 would be used in the steel beam factory #7.

    Who do you think makes such decisions in a capitalist context?

    Funnily enough, the dictatorial USSR was the only country which assisted the republicans in their civil war against fascism

    Even funnier they didn’t support the CNT nor POUM.

    According to Worshiping Power by Peter Gelderloos, decentralized structures have an advantage in self-defense but a disadvantage beyond their base territory. That’s why both the Spanish Civil War and the Makhnovshchina were lost once the popular front strategy were implemented.

      Markets make those decisions in a capitalist context, surely not a committee of experts consulting the unions.

      I’d have to read that book to give an actual answer to why that analysis is made. My point is that the coup was allowed to happen to that degree in the first place due to the failure of anarchists of arming the working class and stewarding it against the increasing threat of fascism.
