I was actually gonna give Red Famine the benefit of the doubt and read it but if this is the dumbass shit she says then cool. Just removed the book from my library.
Her scholarship has been torn apart for using bad data, cherry picking, completely trusting some sources for no reason, completely disregarding other sources as lies even when those sources are well corroborated…
Yeah and yet she is referenced in articles. I just had to read a book on supposedly antiracism (pov Europe) and this ghoul appears on the reference list, I knew to look for it as the article itself was very much anticommunism dressed as nuanced academics.
Her scholarship has been torn apart by bourgeois historians, not just us tankies. I think even J Arch Getty, who I have a ton of respect for, tore into her book somewhere.

So she gave it the Black Book of Communism treatment, huh? Sort of embarrassed that I even stole the book now tbh.
