The main idea of communism is to kill «bad» people («Bourgeoisie and Intelligence», i.e. richer and smarter people), to grow «soviet people», which then build communism. Initial estimate in 1918 was to kill 10% of population. To do that, secret police created to spy on people minds, to find bad ones. Secret police reported that majority of Ukrainians are anti-communists. So, idea was simple - communists need to kill majority of «bad» Ukrainians, then communism will happen.

You're projecting history onto ideology, which doesn't always work. The Marxist students being persecuted by China this year would very much disagree with your analysis, even having experienced this 'communism'.
- v_lisivka 8y agoFirst, you are mismatching communism ideology with transition from capitalism to communism. If somebody want to rule a country, he must use violence to beat previous government, no matter what is said in a book. Second, you are mismatching theory with practice.
- claudiawerner 8y agoAll revolutions are structured like that, from the German to the French to the American to the Russian to every war of independence. Violence is an unfortunate effect. Practice is informed by theory, and theory is informed by practice. A glance at Marxist literature would show this.
