    Yeah, “peasant and worker” class, that decided to burn crops, slaughter livestock and turn grain into vodka so they could sell it for more, where definitely not the problem.

      The guy who wrote The Gulag Archipelago wrote another book specifically about the Holodomor. In that book, he talks about how thousands of pounds of grain and thousands of livestock were slaughtered by kulaks. Of course (being infected with liberal brainworms), he blames this all on the soviets.

        He also wrote a book about how revolution was a Jewish plot and Bolsheviks were all Jews who wanted to destroy Russia and Russians, so I wouldn’t give any credence to anything he wrote.

    The true lib way. Post some mindless, dumb shit and then disappear entirely when people cram actual sources/evidence down your throat. Make sure to leave some doots too to make them know how much you heckin’ disagree!!

      they’re used to being unchallenged on reddit and just piling on anybody who says different, and they have no idea what to do when they actually have to defend their viewpoints

    Tell it to the kulak victims of nkvd.

    Will do, right before reporting them to the NKVD - assuming I don’t dome them myself.

    And no famine wasn’t because of kulaks, only because Soviets kept selling best grain to the west. Much more than they really could - all they central office data were falsified and nobody dared to admit that they couldn’t sell that much grain to the west

      Literally what I responded with.

      “You know, when I set up a communist state the first thing I do is sell all my grain to the west and fulfill trade agreements instead of serving the people; that makes sense!”
