What about the millions of people who were killed to build socialism and Communism?

From day one of the triumph of socialism in Russia, the imperialist powers have not stopped their campaign of misinformation against socialism. Many of the “victims” of Communism were actually casualties in the resistance to fascist and capitalist aggression at the hands of invaders. Many supporters of Tsarist and capitalist restoration were purged but the figures quoted by imperialist propaganda are fanciful in the extreme. Many of these supporters of capitalist restoration ended up in camps, the “gulags”. These measures stopped in the 1950s with the closing of the camps.

In the conditions of imminent or actual invasion, many injustices were committed in the understandable haste to defend socialism. But the blame for this must be placed at the feet of the ruthless forces trying to destroy the peaceful construction of socialism.
