This page lists episodes of left-wing resistance to [authoritarian
socialism](Authoritarian_Socialism "wikilink"), not all of these
movements were necessarily [libertarian
socialist](Libertarian_Socialism "wikilink"), and this is not a
comprehensive list of episodes of dissent (for example, we will not
include racist movements (most commonly
[Russophobic](Russophobia "wikilink") ones) or movements aimed at
reestablishing capitalism (like the White Army in Russia or Kuomingtang
in China).
