And in the French revolution, just one single man killed thousands of people.

[This led to the enactment of the Law of Suspects, which allowed for the arrests of between 300,000 and half a million citizens nationwide. 16,594 of these ‘suspects’ were formally executed after a trial, while around 10,000 died in prison, and thousands more were killed in various massacres staged across France. It is estimated that the total death toll during the ten-month Reign of Terror rests anywhere between 30-50,000.]
Did you really think I couldn’t back up my statement with facts? How is the Reign of Terror in France and the mass genocide in the USSR in any way “equivalent” to the American and Haitian revolutions?

That first link is pure cold warrior nonsense on par with the black book of communism. As for the second, I defer to the words of Mark Twain:
Truthfully I support all of those revolutions as historical processes which have brought about necessary change, but the Haitians and the Russians fighting for their freedom from Slavery and Capitalism respectively are much more commendable than the Americans doing so because they didn’t want to slow down their westward expansion.

Literally a 100% history book. 2000 pages of specific details. And literally nobody in the Soviet government ever claimed any of it was not 100% correct.
