combatir

O mejor dicho: dejó de parecer así del todo, como si la hubieran combatido como criados complacientes de los inteligentes comunistas y como si los comunistas la hubiesen ganado y no ellos —lo que naturalmente es la verdad.
Or rather, it made things look as though they had fought it as complacent henchmen of the clever Communists, and as though the Communists had won it, and not they—which is, of course, the truth.
