As I've said before:
1984 george orwell animal farm authoritarianism no food holodomor 100 million dead
The "Holodomor" really is a huge propaganda coup.
You know what I don't see mentioned much? The decades and decades of war movies and history channel documentaries and related shit that puffed the Nazis up in to hyper-competent war wizards with super tanks while pretty much erasing all their political and ideological positions. An entire generations of Americans grew up knowing that the Tiger II was actually a Gundam, but very few if any of them learned anything at all abut Nazi economics or ideology.
Like you shouldn't be able to say "Public/Private Partnership" without being immediately denounced as a fascist, but no one knows where neo-liberal ideology actually came from, and it's popular in certain circles to claim neoliberalism isn't even real and is just a pejorative commies use.
Holodomor is so wild like society regressed to comparable understanding of "hight of the cold war" sovietologists. Like mf the archives were opened we know what happened
Yeah but also you have issues like post-Stalin USSR "admitting to" the Katyn Forest Massacre for political expedience so Soviet "documents" and "archives" are not always reliable since you can't really verify each and every one independently.
