Booklet consists of 2 parts:
1. A historical description of how the authoritarian Bolshevist stole the revolution and surpressed anarchist and other left wing opposition.
2. A number of (mostly) anarchists who were warning for this before, during and after the establishment of what became the USSR
Main take-aways / learnings:
Marx was not just opposed to anarchists like Proudhon and Bakunin, but a colonial racist and anti-feminist as well
The Bolshevist Secret Service was created within a month after the October revolution and opened concentration camps shortly thereafter. The gulag was well established before Stalin.
