ControlOverTerritory

Quora Answer : Why do communists/socialists murder and torture millions of people?

Jun 17, 2018

Some of us don't.

I haven't murdered or tortured anyone.

The ones that have done it, have tended to do it for the same reasons that everyone else murders and tortures people.

They're trying to establish control over a territory and feel that control is threatened by enemies.

They were wrong to do this, of course. Just as everyone else is wrong to torture and murder to establish control over a territory.
