Unfortunately, you haven’t created Star Wars, so it ultimately doesn’t matter what you say about Vader. And I’d say the same thing about myself if I used your argument, so don’t think for a second that I don’t agree with you. Actually, I agree with you that the Socialists always resort to force on those who disagree with them, and that Communism, National Socialism, and Antifa are one and the same. Heck, technically, Democracy itself is one of the same, at least the democracy promoted by the French Revolutionaries.

Besides, some EU stuff definitely had the Rebels engaging in behavior more befitting of the Jacobins, the Bolsheviks, and others. Like for example, Children of the Jedi had a flashback to when the Rebels liberated Coruscant. Let’s just say that Leia’s recollections would bring to mind the September Massacres or the October Surprise. Here’s the quote if you’re interested:

“Silent in the narrow alleyway, Leia recalled the day the Rebels had taken Coruscant. The Emperor’s palace - that endless, gorgeous maze of crystal roofs, hanging gardens, pyramids of green and blue marble shining with gold... summer quarters, winter quarters, treasuries, pavilions, music rooms, prisons, halls... grace-and-favor residences for concubines, ministers, and trained assassins—had been shelled hard and partially looted already, Rebel partisans having killed whichever members of the Court they could catch. These had included, if Leia remembered correctly, not only the President of the Bureau of Punishments and the head of the Emperor’s School of Torturers, but the court clothing designer and any number of minor and completely innocent servants of all ages, species, and sexes whose names had never even been reported.”

And here’s the scan showing that quote:

There’s more out there as well, both old and new EU.
