To whom, under what conditions. We have plenty of evidence that Stalin wanted to crush the anarchists in spain. Again, I don't go into the debate here. There's plenty of other people who will happily debate you on this

They did the same thing in supporting the Kuomintang from the Japanese conquest of China right up until the Maoists pushed them out of the mainland. Do you think that perhaps inferior methods of military and industrial organization could have played a part in this, or should Mao have called Stalin red fash and given up?

It's very convenient when Stalinists betray anarchists and then blame them for the results of that betrayal. Every situation is not the same mate. China vs Japan is not half of spain VS Franco and Hitler.
