re: #220 Salamantis

while communist genocides are directed at classes (the bourgeoise).

Also, while fascist genocides can be avoided if one is not a member of the hated Other, communist/leftist genocides constantly redefine the identity of The Enemy so that ultimately nobody is safe. Witness the Stalinist purges of the 1930s, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, or even a deep historical precedent like the French Revolution. All ended up eating their own children because the perpetual need for an internal war against dissenters forced the State to keep inventing new enemies to persecute.
