The first thing communist/marxists do is disarm the citizens. Throughout history, several authoritarian regimes have disarmed their citizens, often as a precursor to oppression or genocide. Notable examples include: •Turkey (1911): Citizens were disarmed, leading to the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians during the Armenian Genocide. •Soviet Union (1929): Stalin banned private gun ownership, coinciding with mass purges and the deaths of millions of dissidents. •Nazi Germany (1938): Jews and other “unreliable” groups were systematically disarmed, facilitating the Holocaust and the murder of 6 million Jews. •China (1935): Mao Zedong confiscated firearms, resulting in mass killings during his regime, with an estimated 65 million deaths. •Cambodia (1956): Pol Pot’s regime disarmed citizens, leading to the murder of 1 million intellectuals in the “killing fields”. •Guatemala (1964): Disarmament preceded the massacre of 100,000 Mayan Indians. •Uganda (1970): Christians were disarmed under Idi Amin’s rule, resulting in 300,000 deaths. •Rwanda (1994): The Tutsi population was disarmed before the genocide, which claimed 1 million lives. These regimes often justified disarmament as measures for public safety or crime prevention but ultimately used it to consolidate power and suppress dissent.
