    How is this propaganda still around when historians (not doing capitalism apologia) have unanimously come to the conclusion that the holomodor was not a deliberate killing? Like, Jesus Christ, you don't even have to like Stalin to realize that this is just cold war remnant bullshit. Did Stalin just starve as many people as he could for the lolz? Was it like a competition with hitler or something to see who could have the highest kill count?

    I HATE LIBERALS

      Holodomor: killed about 3 million people, initial scarcity was due to natural causes, famine was not intentionally caused, but exacerbated by the soviet government exporting grain to finance industrialization

      Bengal famine: killed about 3 million people, initial scarcity was due to natural causes, famine was not intentionally caused, but exacerbated by the british government exporting grain to stockpile and feed the troops

      The difference, as far as I know, is the Bengal famine wasn't preceded by crop-burning and Stalin didn't call ukrainians "beastly people" that "breed like rabbits".

      Guess which one is known as a "man-made famine" and "genocide" and compared to the Holocaust. Fucking guess. :sus-torment:
