Aah yes - Look, those authoritarian socialists are fighting monarchist/imperialist/colonial forces for the freedom of their land, redistributing land to the poor and giving voting rights to women etc. Let's coup them and install druglords or despots there.?
Are you on the other side trying to sell us on Freedom and Democracy™(oil lover edition)?
That's the logical and practical conclusion of all who would side with the Tsar over the Soviets, or any other conflict like that. It's "left" anticommunism, which ultimately does far more harm to the left than good.
Any time you ask for a movement they support, it's nearly always some leftist offshoot that lasted a year or two and then became a footnote in history because it either didn't work or couldn't actually protect itself and thus failed to adequately organize.
