I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

You don’t think that there are things that take precedent over “stopping imperialism”? Does stopping imperialism take precedence over stopping genocide?
No. As i said, thats the number one political goal for marxists.
Thats a good question. If this situation ever happen, it will open a debate for us. All i can answer you now is that usually genocide is commited by imperialism.
The Holomodor?
I don’t know if it fits the academic definition of “genocide,” but millions died under Mao unnecessarily in the CCP’s pursuit of communism.
I dont know about the Holodomor enought to tell if it was a huge mistake or a deliberated thing. But anyway, it doesnt look like a fight against imperialism (as i said, i dont know much about this), so what would it be the case to “support” it?
About Mao, it was not a genocide, it was a war. War is war. A lot of people die, mostly without necessity, and he was fighting against imperialism (represented by Chiang Kai-shek). Do we like the fact that a lot of people died? No. Was there any other way to fight imperialism? Also no. So, yes, we support the fight Mao fought
