    it is fine to save hundreds of thousands of lives from firebombing, yes. war is never pretty and you must protect civilians by moving them away from the ever-advancing front line.

          What black book of communism are you talking about? I linked you a wikipedia article. These are real historical events that you’re willfully ignoring.

                A lot of sources are for more general historic claims and some that aren’t are likely a circular citation. In any case, if you want to pretend to be a communist, it’s basic decency to not throw a list of accusations at someone that includes obvious anticommunist bullshit like the Black Book.

                Anarchists uncritically quoting wikipedia – which is infamous for its anticommunist historical revisionism – is a funny bit
