I doubt there would be any good estimate of the number of people there, but there were enough people to influence and in fact define the culture of the area.
Sure China is an example, and many communist or fascist regimes have used the power of numbers to help their cause along. It happened in Germany as well. So then we agree now that there is power in numbers?
This does not apply to only communist countries, population numbers can effect change in a democracy as well. Take a look at the situation in Quebec (regarding separation) for one example of this. Or strikes across North America (such as the Winnipeg General Strike) for many others.
