the end doesn’t justify the means

Suppression of the right were necessary, however the relative freedom given to locals to carry it out resulted in people using it to settle old scores or non-ideological people to advance politically within the party. While dekulization enabled them, those actions were orthogonal (and actually hindered) the aims of dekulization.

Whether that can be labeled

It’s […] vital to denounce them if you consider yourself a leftist.

We had that struggle back when Kruschev sent the tanks into Hungary and every western leftist org was falling over each other to denounce the USSR. Meanwhile nazis were being put in charge of police forces in South America to do crimes against humanity against indigenous and communist elements and hundreds of thousands were being massacred in South Korea.

Turns out the tankies were right. Denouncing the enemies of the state you live in just serves to carry water for imperialism.
