    There have been multiple murders, familicides, kidnappings, or all three, all in the name of combating communism lol. I'm curious if similar deranged events have happened to leftist hardliners in the past. I'm not talking about "communists" such as Pol Pot who had institutional power, but random citizens who believed in communism so much, or whatever warped version, they went out and did heinous shit. The closest I can think of is Jim Jones. I also recall some cult in the UK where the founder was some maoist or something like that, and he enslaved his followers in the basement for years or decades and they recently escaped like 5 years ago.
