Forgive me if I am mistaken, but wasn’t the betrayal, so to speak, of anarchists in China early during the united front against Japan? The communists weren’t exactly the powerbrokers yet. I don’t know a great deal about anarchism in China, so there could easily be another phase when the KMT and CPC were at war that anarchists were burned that I don’t know about.
The CCP was hostile to Anarchists before 1949, but there is limited information on that period. Most Anarchists fled China when Mao took power, and the CCP later cracked down on anarchist-like egalitarian communes that began to form.
There was also a split within Maoism in the 60’s that pointed out the revolution had just created a new elite bureaucratic class, and called for China to be remodeled on the Paris Commune. That group was violently suppressed by the state with the charge of ‘Anarchism’.
