14:19 sorry to be pedantic but you do have to clarify that he was elected president of the republic, because Spain is silly and it had the President of the Republic and the President of the Government (is, prime minister) (the latter post is still in use) and that the Presidency of the Republic is not executive, so Azaña didn't have the ability to "implement" the programme of the popular front, but rather it could name a President of the Government that did.
Understood and it’s not pedantic but the proper way to phrase it. My source actually does say “On June 16, after Azaña had been elected president of the Republic, in place of Niceto Alcalá Zamora, deposed by parliament…” but I hadn’t realized that had a specific meaning lol. It also says he didn’t attack Azaña directly but that “Maurin this time attacked the government for not carrying out the Popular Front program and criticized strongly the suspension of constitutional guarantees imposed by the Azaña cabinet.”(ibid pg 210) So it was on me for misinterpreting what I read more than anything.
Lovely video, but have to be pedantic in stating that Finland is not a Scandinavian country, but a Nordic one. Would love to learn about the opposition in Finland, too, because it's something I'd never even heard of - with the interwar years being so messy and precarious for the communist movement in the first place.
Sad that you cut out the cpo india section, id rather a longer video with more info in it honestly, you can always just stop watching or skip ahead if you aren’t interested in part of it but honestly id like to have more rather than less, just my personal preference but yeah
33:56 You should look in to Jacques Doriot. He got expelled from the French Communist Party for being pro United Front. After that he kinda became a Nazbol and later ran one of if not the most popular Fascist parties in France.
Was the ideological basis for disagreement mostly in terms of: -popular front and critique of social fascism (left) v. United front and collaboration with social democrats (right) -work in the unions (right) v. Critique of the unions (left) -View on collectivisation of agriculture, industrialisation and end of NEP in USSR as positive (left), or negative (right) Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, i feel like I misunderstand this issue, especially United front v. Popular front seems backwards in terms of right left
Popular Frontism was not a leftwing line. The leftist line was sectarianism and the advocacy of the social fascism thesis. This policy was something which the Right attacked as Ultra Left. The Right Opposition supported united fronts as opposed to the sectarianism being pushed by the Comintern. The abandonment of the social fascism thesis and the sudden switch to the popular front tactic was a shift to the Right, but the ICO thought this tactic was blatantly counter revolutionary and attacked it.
The ICO supported collectivization and industrialization. The abandonment of the NEP was not something they were worried about rather it was the tactics being pushed by the Comintern. The NEP issue was problem between the Left and Right inside the Soviet Union but not abroad.
If the third period hadn’t happened, I don’t think the majority of these people would have ever broken with the center. It seems like the views of a lot of these people ended up becoming that of the majority of major ML parties in the world today

Holy shit once again proven correct that the right opposition was only slightly less Lassallean than the Center in any context

Yeah, hopefully the Indian section makes it into its own video
do you ever intend to make a video specifically on Kronstdat and the resulting faction ban in the CPSU

Yeah I’ve heard of him lol, interesting and genuinely sad story.
