    I mean, were a minimum of 700,000 people not executed by the CCP in their campaign to root out counterrevolutionairies? State sanctioned murder is still murder. I’m not even counting things like the Cultural Revolution or the Great Leap Forward with that figure.

      Most of those people deserved it tbh. Similar things will happen in revolutions everywhere. Alot of people just need to be gone. That doesnt mean the leader of revolution murdered them, it was the revolutionary masses.

          French revolution (a liberal revolution) killed thousands Anti slavery movements led to thousands of death Anti colonial struggles led to millions of death

          And supporting these revolutions/struggles doesnt make one garbage human. Revolution and death are truth and must happen constantly until humanity is liberated. I would love peaceful revolutions, but history has proven its an oxymoron.

            There have been plenty of peaceful revolutions. Ironically enough, a good deal of them overthrew Soviet republics.
