Explanation: In Ukraine in the aftermath of the October Revolution, much of Ukraine was controlled by anarchists, largely following Nestor Makhno. At a significant material disadvantage in comparison to the Red (Bolshevik) and White (Tsarist) Armies, the Black (Anarchist) Army made widespread use of improvised mobile machine-gun platforms called tachankas... which were horse or mule-drawn carts with a machinegun tossed on the back, lmao. With these, they managed to repel Tsarist forces, despite extremely limited support from the Red Army.

If it works, it works!

    The technical is the weapon of anarchism just as much as the molotov.
