That's a false dichotomy, there are other political options outside the two factions (republicans and democrats) of the US Bourgeoisie party.

Hiroito was never judged by those crims. I suspect that fight against fascism was not, and never has been, a priority of the U.S.

The US intention was clearly to commit mass murder of civilians (most of them members of the working class): They threw the bomb in the city center, not in the few nonstrategic military barracks nor in the military industries, and less than 10% of the deaths were militaries.

See, by example, https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/hiroshima-and-myths-military-targets-and-unconditional-surrender

It's a problem at least in Barcelona and in their near cities. Youth people and most of the working class can't pay the price to get a home there. A lot of housing has moved as a tourist service (airbnb... ) missing their social use.

And thanks to democratic centralism, USSR created its own bourgeoisie.

I'm not aware of that theory, could you elaborate it, or link to some Marxist that developed it?

The most famous Marxist critic with the USSR was Leon Trotsky, who accused the USSR to be a «state capitalism», but he defended democratic centralism —see, by example: Leon Trotsky (1937). On Democratic Centralism and the Regime (1937)—.

Also, Democratic Centralism has been a strong organization model against infiltration and in case of persecution, and a fast decision model in that circumstances and in pre-revolutionary or revolutionary stages.

The worm is the bourgeoisie and their capitalist system.

From wikipedia:

Charlene Alexander Mitchell (June 8, 1930 – December 14, 2022) was an American international socialist, feminist, labor and civil rights activist. In 1968, she became the first Black woman candidate for President of the United States.[1][2]

Notice the time lag between the events of 1936 and the realization that the Soviets were “wag[ing] a war against the Anarchists.”

That's not correct. If the Comintern Parties[^note1] and their comissaries were waging a war into the anti-fascist forces, were against other communists: mostly against the POUM and troskist.

The POUM (Partit Obrer d'unificació Marxista / Workers Party of Marxist Unification), the group where George Orwell joined, was a non-troskist Marxist-Leninist Party, which wanted to do the revolution at the same time as overcoming fascism, i.e. the same strategy that the anarchists of the FAI (Federació Anarquista Ibèrica / Iberian Anarchist Federation) and CNT (Confederació Nacional del Treball / National Confederation of Labor).

The POUM was banned (accused of collaboration with fascism) and its leader Andreu Nin disappeared.  Until the 90s, with the declassification of KGB documentation, it was not known what had happened to him: he was detained, tortured and murdered by the NKVD without having 'confessed' to any crime.

I do not deny that there was persecution against anarchists, but I do deny the degree of animosity towards them that anarchist historiography often presents. The greatest ideological "danger" of the Comintern, those against whom they showed the greatest animosity within the anti-fascist bloc, were not the anarchists, nor the majority socialist party, nor the petty-bourgeois parties... they were other communists who do not share their positions.

[^note1]: PCE (Partit Comunista d'Espanya / Communist Party of Spain) and PSUC (Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya / Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia).

That video is liberal anti-Che propaganda (e.g.: he not started the Cuban-USA nuclear missile crisis, I've stoped the video after that).

Jon Lee Anderson, Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life is usually suggested as one of the best biographies about him.
