    "denying" the "genocide" of the holodomor, or, in other words, not downplaying the actual literal Holocaust. Please, go read some serious historians and not Robert Conquest. No one who has seriously studied the issue, and actually had access to the Soviet archives thinks that it was a genocide. Take just one small fact for example: if the holodomor was a targeted genocide of Ukrainians, why did more Kazakhs die during the famine? Why do they not cry "genocide" like the Ukrainian state?

    Regardless, it's responses like this that warrant the pig poop balls. No investigation, no right to speak.

      That's a good point-- I'm sure it's overlooked that Stalin was committing genocide on Muslims even moreso than Ukrainians!

      FYI I like Lenin just not authoritarian capitalist Stalin that caused the decline of Soviet communism.

        "I'm sure I'm right, I must be! angery "
        Again, come on man, no investigation, no right to speak. No one who has studied this more than you or I ever will believes it was a intentional genocide. Go read the new translation of Losurdo's Stalin, that'll do you more good than whatever it was you were going to do tomorrow.

        If you like Lenin you should read about his thoughts on imperialism sometime. His works on the subject inform the views on geopolitics of the "tankies" you so despise.

        (You should also read "On Authority" by Engels since you throw around the word authoritarian a lot).
