Did those people try to deconstruct existing power structures while in office? That makes them counter revolutionary. The state is counter revolutionary.

You can't abolish maters by using the master's tools.

    That's just a No true Scotsman argument. Their (alleged) end goal was the creation of a classless, stateless communist society. They haven't achieved that, and they wouldn't have claimed to have achieved that. But they would've claimed that their crimes were a necessary step towards that goal. You can't just brush aside the people most associated with the "far left" label, regardless of whether or not you personally feel like they are "undeserving" of it.
