The revolution was justified, the subsequent oppression was not. Both were done in the name of communism but the revolution failed to achieve it and the state never actually meant it.
I changed “freedom and liberty” to “democracy” in my comment above to make my point more clear. While democracy is a political system and not an economic one, it does require the previous system to die in order to be established.
Except they did do it for the sake of communism; it’s in their own wording.
The US invaded Iraq for the sake of “democracy,” in their own words. Did “democracy” kill all those Iraqis, or did the US government?
Edit: changed “freedom and liberty” to “democracy” for better clarity and accuracy.
Freedom and liberty isn’t an economic system that requires the previous system to die.
