Saying things like "it is important to maintain the stability by fighting rebels" suggests that you haven't learned anything from it, and certainly won't be able to keep it from happening again. That may sound harsh, but it's true. If you see people with different views from your own about something like property rights or how taxes are spent or whether the government should concentrate on helping people or building weaponry, etc, as a threat to some mythical "stability" which can be a bugbear pointed to any time a need to justify violence comes up... you will never know peace. People can work together, and they can reach common ground. It's in the opposite direction of labelling those who disagree 'rebels' and impossible to reach through fighting.
- thaumasiotes 9y agoFrom your parent comment: > they tried to overthrow the government, they killed generals and other important figures of the government That sounds like something pretty much anyone would consider a threat to "stability". Stability is not a mythical concept.

Either you're incredibly naive or you're passing yourself as an disingenuous individual. The problem with cold war communists is that Moscow pulled the strings of terrorist groups to try to force whole nations into puppet states controlled by a communist dictatorship. That had absolutely nothing to do with the will of the people or even organic political movements arising from within any nation, and their single reason of existence was to add another communist puppet state to the list of nations behind the iron curtain.
