Followed by the Russian revolution about a hundred years later with a repeat of a reign of terror. Excellent point. Thanks for highlighting it. I suppose that is the derivation of a continuing Communist strategy.
Another thing that is not well known among us great unwashed, is that even today the Left Bank (of the Seine) in Paris is still a hot bed of Communism. Many Communist leaders, including Ho Chi Mihn and Pol Pot (perhaps even Mao), were schooled there in their youths. There they are taught the value of terror to cement control and of the mass killings, torture, and starvation necessary to eliminate anyone smart enough to resist them.
Hadn't known that about the Left Bank. I remember drinking beer there with my brother, many years ago, when we were still young.
