No, it was I who argued self-defense. Construct never did.

Nope.

@Construct

Marxists have empirically shown that when they gain power, they have a tendency to kill their enemies. This has been proven in in the Soviet Union, in China, and in Cambodia. As someone who is certainly not a friend of Marxism, I have a vested interest in ensuring that Marxists don’t succeed. And I’d be better off it they were shot, because they’d do exactly the same to me.

That is Construct arguing self defence.

As for the ridiculous argument about what some historic Marxists regimes have done, it has no bearing - I’m personally a pacifist and I follow Marx’s teachings (not as much as I follow Proudhon’s, but I still count myself as a Marxist), so what have I personally done to deserve going up against the wall? What have the Marxist state governments in India done?

Collective punishment is a war crime for a reason, but hey, advocate for it if you like.
