    Worth noting - That's not what caused the 1932 famines. Sabotage and resistance to collectivization were a factor, but the major cause was a severe drought, and the Soviet government failed to act to relieve the famine due to a variety of communication, logistics, and administrative problems. Resistance to collectivization and sabotage were contributing factors, but not anywhere near sufficient to have caused the famine by themselves. The predominate analogy I've seen is that the actions of the government were akin to manslaughter; There was no intention to cause death, but the government had the responsibility and resources to greatly mitigate the harm and failed to do so.

    Calling that a genocide is straight up holocaust denying/double holocaust nazi and ukrainian nazi bs, of course.

    I've tried to explain to libs on here that a lot of the "Russiagate" stuff is just QANON for liberals. I can't help but feel I'm partially responsible for you guys being misrepresented like this. (It's not like they'd check to see which instance I come from.)

    That thread is a dumpster. I'm glad you've prevented me from participating in it by using the wrong link instead of a hexbear link. Probably good for my mental health

      Your community avatar is a racist caricature of the Chinese president. We don't like racists.

          It's literally a picture of a Chinese man who is a democratically elected politician in a country of over a billion people with his skin tinted yellow. I don't care if it originated from a meme by a Chinese person, it's overwhelmingly used now by racist white westerners, thus making it a racist caricature.

              What if both of those options serve the same interests?

              Spoken like someone who absolutely does not understand how China's democracy works. They don't go to the ballot box every 4 years to vote for one old white rich ghoul vs the other old white rich ghoul. Their electoral system works different. But more importantly it actually works, unlike ours.

      Lmao a real vote lib in the wild of Hexbear this is funny af. :vote

      We're active in organising every day, every week, all year every year. You go and slip a piece of paper into a box once every few years and think you're achieving something. Meanwhile it's real actual legwork, driect action and blood in the streets that has won you anything that has ever mattered. Your work hours? Your holidays? Your work days? Your health and safety protections? Your pay? Every concession the working class has came from labour organising and blood, sweat and tears. Not vote

      The vote is a steam outlet valve to create something that dissipates unhappyness in a population that can bubble over into revolutionary energy by providing the population with a feeling that they get a choice at something instead of being completely and utterly alone other than when organised with their fellow workers.

      I voted in 2020 for healthcare, trans rights, and student loan forgiveness, and to be able to afford my rent. None of those things happened. Voting doesn't matter.

      The good thing about voting not mattering is that Q folks don't matter either. Cool how things like that work out.

      I vote and nothing fucking changes because my government has been captured by the same right wing bigots for almost 20 years now, almost the entirety of my life my blood thirsty antique of a country that does nothing except yearn for a second colonial period with its boot back being the largest one on the neck of the world, has essentially been a one party state with a left opposition that does nothing except continuously move right and kick out anyone they think is too left wing.

      Voting has never changed anything for me except to watch things continuously get worse and worse
