it is fine to save hundreds of thousands of lives from firebombing, yes. war is never pretty and you must protect civilians by moving them away from the ever-advancing front line.

What black book of communism are you talking about? I linked you a wikipedia article. These are real historical events that you're willfully ignoring.
Werth, Nicholas (1999). "A State against Its People: Violence, Repression, and Terror in the Soviet Union". In Courtois, Stéphane (ed.). The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression. Translated by Mark Kraemer; Jonathan Murphy (illustrated hardcover ed.). Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press. p. 164. ISBN 9780674076082. Retrieved 2 December 2021 – via Google Books.
There are dozens of sources listed on the bottom, one possibly questionable source means the entire thing is made up?
A lot of sources are for more general historic claims and some that aren't are likely a circular citation. In any case, if you want to pretend to be a communist, it's basic decency to not throw a list of accusations at someone that includes obvious anticommunist bullshit like the Black Book.
Anarchists uncritically quoting wikipedia -- which is infamous for its anticommunist historical revisionism -- is a funny bit
