When someone brings Holodomor they’re not even trying to understand what they’re even blaming, so out of tiredness, I don’t bring up the fact that the ones who ruined the farms and crops were the rich private landowners who didn’t want their properties to be turned over to the state. Holodomor is a capitalist genocide in what was a communist country.

Think for a second: why would a country building an army, needing healthy adults, purposely cause a famine?

Meanwhile every western genocide is about racism, slave-labour and exploitation of the land. Every single one.

Also, nice fallacies you’re throwing out there, like that ad hominem at the end, truly marvellous.

Stalin did because he did not like free willing peasants as they were a threat to the regime. Tankie will worship Stalin and won’t acknowledge the atrocity then expects to be taken seriously talking about Nazis or US or France etc…

Nobody is defended western atrocities, you are here trying to explain away Stalin’s… we have not even gotten to Mao or one of your other beloved daddies.

That logic about Stalin destroying the farms himself doesn’t even work. The country needed the farms and crops as much as any other country building an army. Are you gonna say next that he ordered the eating of babies and kicking of dogs?

I’m not Stalinist btw, but history has facts, and landowners who were having their farms taken and wanted to make the communist party’s life harder are a fact. Bourgeoisie will be bourgeoisie no matter which country.

so taking grain from starving families for dissent control was just a price you are willing to pay?
