      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
