Who said that repression and tyranny were 'ok'? I think that some suspect that the 'change' that came with Stalinism or any other 'communist' state would not have occurred without carnage, but that doesn't mean that the carnage is 'OK'. I asked you what you learned from your analysis of historical events and you came back and said that it was evil. That hardly needed to be said either. I was hoping for some lesson that would provide hope that the 'kulaks' of the next tyrannical repression might be able to survive.
