Article discreditng the thesis that Mao "killed millions of people" in The Great Leap

[Jester]

Marx never said communism was inevitable, only that it was possible due to the contradictions within the capitalist system, that it was in the objective class interests of the proletariat based on this analysis (which still holds true) and thus historically necessary (but not inevitable).

Can you explain what it means for something to be historically necessary, but not inevitable?
