My opinion is that killing and subjugating people is wrong, regardless of your motivation for doing so, unless your motivation is to stop people from killing and subjugating other people.
In general, I'm not comfortable speculating about various groups' motivation for mass killing and subjugation and then ranking those instances of mass murder based on the purity of their supposed motivation. That entire exercise seems incredibly silly to me.
I think it's easier to talk about motivation when we're discussing crimes committed by individuals, but even then, I think it's something courts should do less of.

Well, the motivation of communists was to stop people from "killing and subjugating other people" in the form of imperialism, wage slavery, and so on. So? >That entire exercise seems incredibly silly to me. Well, that's history to you.
