what are some times reactionary infighting resulted in revolutionary gains? Anonymous 26-05-23 00:54:05 No. 17297
I can think of a few, but not an exhaustive catalog: >Lenin getting smuggled back into Russia by the Germans because they thought he would destabilize Russia>The French King helping the American Revolution to own the British >The Russian Empress showing the Francisco De Miranda (Venezuelan revolutionary and independence leader) favor in her court and protecting him from the Spanish crown by giving him permission to hide in Russian embassies all over Europe >The British blockading Haitian ports to own the French, which prevented the French from coming back in and reimposing slavery when they were most able to. >The Americans supporting New World Independence movements in general against old world monarchies, both for ideological reasons (bourgeois republican ideals) and opportunistic reasons (trade). >The Americans trading with Haitian slave rebels against the wishes of the French, because it was profitable, even though they themselves were slave owners. Most of these are from bourgeois republican revolutions against monarchies, or from slave uprisings (in the case of Haiti). Only Lenin fits a communist version of this happening, but I'm sure there are other examples.

>>17297 >bourgeois republican revolutions against monarchies then it is not "reactionary infighting". I know what you are trying to say, but etc.
the "dixie mission" was a very interesting but practically irrelevant - at most they convinced truman of not supporting the kmt
as much - case of reactionary infighting. pre-CIA american intelligence was garbage
