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.

also how communist states basically sold the impression that communism & democracy are incompatible "systems"

Communist parties have confronted the bourgeoisie/liberal democracies with popular/socialist democracies, and a lot of times have added 'democratic' to the state name, e.g.: Democratic People's Republic of Korea (since 1948), Lao People's Democratic Republic (since 1975), Finnish Democratic Republic (1939–1940), German Democratic Republic (1949–1990), Democratic Republic of Vietnam (1954–1975)...

Thanks for sharing. here is an unrelated #acab song in spanish: Falta de Riego - Policia Asesina (live 2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYXVwovE6QY

The 'blue, green or brown, a bastard is a bastard' is a reference of the diverse police uniform colors used in spain until the 80s.

Debian has a list of vendors who sell it in a media (USB, DVD...), some of them also sell other distros.

Yes, they didn't get most of they demands. Most of the improvements on the living conditions of the working class has required a lot of failed intents before success.

The 48 weekly/hours, the payed holidays, the not land/proprietary owners right to vote... has required the blood of a lot of working class people to be obtained.

The western/bourgeois cultural-narrative, based in a natural evolution that warrants rights of the opressed class, has not historical sense.
