I mean in the boxer revolution and the millions that died in gulags in USSR because of famine and the government selecting people at random to starve to death in labor camps.
The boxer rebellion was 50 years before the Chinese Communist Revolution. The CIA’s own unclassified reports show what people in gulags were fed. Why would they choose people at random? That would be dumb. Nazis, kulaks, other prisoners of the revolutionary war, and common criminals were in gulags.

Do you even think critically about the cold war propaganda we were fed? Why would you pick people out of bread lines and put them into gulags to feed them there? That would mean you’d have to build more gulags and get people to staff them. Why would you do that unless you’re a cartoon villain? It makes no sense.
I have no great love for clergy, especially when they side with tsars against a worker revolution.
Lemme just unload very blurry memories of junior high school class and add numbers with "millions", that sounds like enough work to not give 1 minute of my time to actually know anything about the USSR or China
Why don't you read up on the USSR and read peoples actual experiences with it. Yeah there weren't millions in the boxer revolution, but tbh the forced abortion 2 kid thing probably puts them into millions category
