Stuff to do
"The USSR’s resort to terrorism signalized an abandonment of the long-standing fiction that Communism is part of the movement of ‘history’; that in order to win, it does not need any special measures. When terrorism is defined as ‘active measures’ that can and ‘ought’ to be part of the policy of a Communist State, we see a shift to a frank acceptance by Communist ideologues that their system is based on power not reason or the forces of
history".[1]

Holodomor
Instead of people edit warring they really ought to use the newest sources. "Three to five million of this number died in Ukraine and in the heavily Ukrainian-populated northern Kuban, among the richest grain producing areas in Europe." [2]

AFD? Funny
[4] Well his uni must have a crap library really :) No books which look at communist ideology and terrorism? Nor non which deals with communist terrorism? So lets see, what do we have here in my library.
The classic vision of the communist ideology is found in the pages of the Communist Manifesto (Marx and Engels, 1954 [1848]). While sharply critical of “utopian” socialism, which emphasized the viability of small communities, Marx and Engels themselves envisioned a scientifically based utopia that would arise with the destruction of capitalism and the abolition of its institutions. With the concentration of power in the proletariat, “we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all” (ibid., p. 37). Engels subsequently referred to communist society as a “universal emancipation” and “the ascent of man from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom” (Engels, 1959 [1880], pp. 111, 109). Utopian elements also appeared in Engels’ characterization of the life of preindustrial workers in England (Engels, 1993 [1845]). While the concrete depiction of life in the communist utopia has always remained elusive, the ideal of freedom from capitalist or capitalist-derived oppression has remained a constant element. The idea reappeared in altered form in the ideologies of terrorist movements in the United States and
Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s.
Neil J. Smelser. The faces of terrorism: social and psychological dimensions Princeton University Press. Bold bit tells the story, communist ideologue and terrorism. And of course there is always Europe's red terrorists: the fighting communist organizations By Yonah Alexander, Dennis A. Pluchinsky which totally deals with communist terrorism. Gotta wonder what uni does not have this book in it

See also "These groups, which terrorist scholar Dennis Pluchinsky has called the fighting communist organizations (FCOs), found their ideological guide in Marxism- Leninism. He has identified 13 principles as forming the core of their ideology".
- 1. The world is viewed through “dialectical materialism,” the Marxist-Leninist approach to the analysis of history.
- 2. Capitalism is the root cause of all the problems of the proletariat.
- 3. Capitalism can only be displaced by force.
- 4. The proletariat does not currently possess the necessary revolutionary consciousness to carry out the violent overthrow of the capitalist system.
- 5. The traditional communist parties have forfeited their right to represent the proletariat.
- 6. The fighting communist organizations are forced to fill the revolutionary void of traditional communist parties.
- 7. In order to survive its present crisis, capitalism must resort to industrial “restructuring.”
- 8. Imperialism is also in crisis.
- 9. Western Europe serves as the “imperialist center” that is composed of a “chain of states,” manufactured by the United States.
- 10. The latent fascist tendencies of the capitalist, imperialist state must be exposed to the proletariat.
- 11. The revolutionary war against imperialism will be a long, protracted armed struggle.
- 12. The revolutionary armed struggle consists of two phases. The first phase would armed propaganda phase, with three components: a revolutionary strategy, communist organization, and initiation of armed combat. The second and final the revolutionary civil war. The “armed propaganda” phase reflects the anarchist propaganda by the deed” concept.
- 13. The next revolutionary stage for an FCO is the “fighting Communist party.”"
