there is so much wrong with this holy fuck. imagine not drawing a single fiber of a lesson from all the horrible communist mass killings of the last century. literally the single biggest mistake of the marxist mainstream is building a violence-careless praxis from very dubious readings of the french and haitian revolutions. without it we'd still have somalia and ethiopia. pol pot wouldn't have happened. in contrast, the biggest lession of the late communist revolutionary wave was that you have to imbue the revolution with humanism. thats how we got a cuba which restrained itself and maintained a cohesive social fabric. what a profoundly reckless ideological wreckage you perpetuate here

During the Cuban revolution and shortly afterwards they killed or exiled like 98% of people that had positions of the Batista state or supported it or benifited from it and didnt defect, from the local to the highest level. I dont know how is that a counter example or how you reply to "we should purge reactionaries that would take action to harm us during and after the revolution" with "well thats how we got pol pot". Well yeah among a dozen other reasons i guess. But thats also how we got any project that survived more than a couple of years and was able to become stable anough and overcome the opposing forces domesticaly and worldwide to a big enough degree that it could afford the humanist apporach and turned away from any mass repression, like with Cuba
