Nothing says that other option is any better. In a binary situation, you have three options:
Choose A
Choose B
Don’t choose at all
Deciding to do nothing is still a conscious choice, and it may be the worst one of them all. Choose not to act, and you may throw in your lot with the greatest evil.
Wars especially world wars are a whole lot more involved than just killing politicians. And not every party not even the victors stand to gain anything more than they loose
the Russian and Cuban systems primarily changed due to modernization and not anything the system did (don’t make the liberal mistake of assuming the advances of modernity are inherent to the system at the time), but China actually got Worse until it “liberalized” its markets and started pulling foreign capital investment
it’s important to look at these kinds of numbers in context, the average life expectancy for the vast majority of Mao’s rule was around 30, only going up to 50-60 in the last few years, still lagging behind even the farther east soviet provinces
Yes, but transforming power structures doesn’t equate to killing opponents. It is neither sufficient nor necessary. The success of some revolutions shouldn’t be attributed to lethal violence.

If your choice is two Hitlers, you kill both the fuckers. Full stop.
There is always another option, you don’t have to accept shit.
