No, actually, just no, colonialist regimes and fascist regimes killed far more people consistently than even incompetent communist states. The deaths of millions every year under neocolonialist comprador governments in Africa and Asia and South America happens silently every year.
Communist dictatorship is better than a totally inhuman dictatorship of capital. I legit believe this.
I have a problem with thinking the KMT should have been supported or that both sides were equally bad. I would have supported the CPC for the same reason I support Iran and Hamas against the US and Israel. The timeline where the anti-imperialists win is always better in the long term than when they lose.
Endlessly criticizing real world socialisms outside of the context of when it’s helpful is selection bias.

I’m not even disputing that. I’m just saying Mao done fucked up. And if that triggers you, then you’ve got a problem.
