80 people, but who were those people (if that itself isn't an exaggeration ofc)?

I take it you're referring to the speech, but in that the 'victims' are referred to as combatants, so.

I'm for them because they're communists, and they're fighting against a US (and European) backed colonial government, whose ancestors genocided the people and took their land. That's enough for me, I don't feel the need to decry and condemn people resisting just because the US or a colonial government says they were bad - every side in a conflict says the other is bad, its expected.
