and then the overthrow of the leftist elected government which succeeded the Tsar (it was a chaotic time).

Do explain why Makhno is not a "fascist" for doing that.

... because Makhno wasn't involved in the dissolution of the All-Russian Constituent Assembly, genius. He wasn't even in the fucking country at the time.

Typical of both your politics and your meager understanding of history to come in here and simp for another overthrow of a democratically elected leftist government by red fascists, and to do so on historically faulty grounds.

He was literally instrumental in leading an anarchist surge in the local organ of the provisional government and was one of the elected delegates of the regional Ukrainian congress.
