The rebels had arrested and silenced the Communists in their area, and they were led by a fascist.
Who did they arrest and why? Who led the Bolsheviks? How was the rebellion suppressed?
You’re suggesting that
I'm suggesting you that executing anarchists as bandits without trial or hearing is far from being heroic
The Communists fought against the Black Guards, a millitant organization that was anti-bolshevik, after the Cheka believed them to be planning a major strike against the Communists. These were not simply random, innocent Anarchists reading theory and making tea, but a millitant organization opposed to the Communists in the middle of a Civil War.
"Tenth Congress of the Russian Communist Party, in April, 1921, at which Lenin declared open and merciless war not only against Anarchists but against “all petty bourgeois Anarchist and Anarcho-Syndicalist tendencies wherever found. It was then and there that began the systematic, organised, and most ruthless extirmination of Anarchists in Bolshevik-ruled Russia. On the very day of the Lenin speech scores of Anarchists, Anarcho-Syndicalists, and their sympathisers were arrested in Moscow and Petrograd"
For clarity, this implies you would have supported the fascist-led rebellion in the middle of a Civil War, while Russia was being invaded by a dozen Capitalist nations. I hope I am misinterpreting your words here.
All i said is that i wouldn't consider heroic lenin involvement in the Kronstadt rebellion which was suppressed with blood. You praising repressive methods that resemble that of fascists has bigger implications if you ask me.
The subset of Anarchists that decided to fight the world’s first Socialist State, rather than join the other Anarchists in supporting it, were certainly not innocent
Some of them were fighting against a government that engaged "anarchists" in this fashion: "the Communist Government attacked, without provocation or warning, the Anarchist Club of Moscow and by the use of machine guns and artillery “liquidated” the whole organisation"
You claim Lenin to be your hero from history so i asked your thoughts on his involvement in the Kronstadt rebellion which was suppressed with blood. It's the first example that came to my mind of one of his shady actions that i personally wouldn't consider heroic.
If I were to be equally as disingenuous, I would ask you your feelings on Stepan Petrichenko
I asked your thoughts on Lenin involvement in the Kronstadt rebellion and in the executions of anarchists, i didn't claim Stepan Petrichenko to be my hero.
I found this interesting read about Kropotkin funeral and Kropotkinskaya

What are your thoughts on lenin involvement in the Kronstadt rebellion and in the executions of anarchists?
No doubt there's russia government propaganda out there but advocating against the ukrainian authoritarian government is not automatically "enemy" propaganda
In the video Assange briefly talks about Joshua Schulte detention, they mention how they have been subjected to nonstop white noise so he can't hear anything outside his cell
