You said the tens of millions of people slaughtered by the CCP were "hated,"
No, I said slaughter is a concomitant of war.
Ah. So the CCP did slaughter tens of millions of Chinese people?
Can't you read?
Note: both sides in war slaughter the other, until one side wins.
So the CCP did not deliberately slaughter tens of millions of Chinese people because they did actually do it, but the other side did it as well?
Is English your second language?
The problem is not my English skills but your crippled comprehension skills, and inability to understand causes - itself the result of your blind delusional "freedom" ideology - delusional because
individual freedom/rights cannot exist except under law, if there is more than one individual in the world.
And speaking of law, it's been amazing listening to radio today: practically everyone from the Jewish Council of Oz, to Sky News, as well as UN reps, have condemend Trump's Gaza plans.
Ie, despite Jasin' contempt for interantional law, everyone except the extreme rabid right is at least paying lip servcie to it, and regard Trump as taking us back to before 1945 when 'might was right' and land grabs by colonizing powers were the norm.
[Unfortunately these same leaders don't understand WHY international law has failed to institute peace and security.]
Back to the Chinese civil war: revolution leads to war against the status quo, eg in France in 1789, one of the King's more far-sighted economic advisers told the King to raise taxes on the aristocracy...the King listened, but gave way to the aristocracy who resisted, resulting in the 'reign of terror' and the destruction of the Monarchy - aka the French Revolution.
A century later, after Europe had industrialized, educated Marxist revolutionaries mounted revolutions in the still backward subsistence agricultural economies of Russia and China in which the vast majority of people were poverty-stricken serfs oppressed by the ruling class.
Back to your ill-formed question, namely:
"So the CCP did not deliberately slaughter tens of millions of Chinese people because they did actually do it, but the other side did it as well?"
Answer: well....yes (leaving aside the issue of "deliberate"); if an oppressor (ruling class) won't take his hands off your neck, you fight back however you can.
And unfortunately, international law still can't deal with oppressors.
