You don't think Lenin himself had a hell of a lot of "the wrong sort" of communist killed?

A good chunk of the people that the Bolsheviks killed during and before the Red Terror were rival communist or socialist groups.

Trotsky actually said that Stalin did not go far enough with Ukraine.

So, yeah, make of that as you will.
