WWP supported killing reform communists like Imre Nagy (would Marcy have called for Lukacs to be hauled out of the foreign embassy that harbored him after the tanks rolled and shot too?), tanks in Hungary shooting communist workers in '56 and Prague in '68, killing reformist students and working class communists in Beijing in '91.
