IBM released a 10MB HDD for the PC in 1983.

The most common storage format in 1984 was the 5¼ inch floppy disk which had a capacity of 360KB, though they had introduced a 1.2MB one in 1984.

7MB was huge in 1984

Which “moderate takes” are you talking about exactly?

The anarchists worked together with the soviets, going as far as actually being a part of the red army and fighting together against the whites. Tensions between the two groups only rose because bolchevik commanders repeatedly attacked their autonomy.

That unity lasted until the reds had beaten the whites in moscow, after which they just invaded the Makhnovshchina.

The anarchists weren’t all that nice and had oftentimes critiqued the bolshevists way of implementing communism, but they still worked together and tried to work with the Bolsheviks on equal footing. The Bolsheviks on the other hand repeatedly tried to undermine their autonomy and just betrayed them as soon as they thought that they didn’t need them anymore and thus caused a civil war that killed 1.5 million people.

What exactly do you want a source for?

The claim that the soviets caused the conflict because of “material conditions” was a joke that was meant to make fun of tankies.

But you quoted “forcing Lenin to order Trotsky”, which is why I don’t exactly know if that’s what you’re talking about.

Hiding letters behind numbers is a pretty old tactic and wasn’t invented by nazis.

They claimed that they stole the explosive from the spanish army.

We can’t fully trust them, but the explosive itself is not sufficient proof for US involvement, especially because it was a widely used explosive.

Nooo, you don’t understand. It was the material conditions that were forcing Lenin to order Trotsky to murder his way through the free territory of Ukraine.
