Most people in capitalist countries never leave the economic bracket they were born into. Capitalism is a primitive system of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

    Stalin did not 'steal the Ukrainians food' ...

    Everything you've said here flies in the face of what I've learned from multiple sources and you've provided no references to back up what you're saying so I'm extremely skeptical.

      I recommend Fraud, Famine, and Fascism by Douglas Tottle.

      That said, there seems to be a lot more recent scholarship on this that I have not personally read, including some stuff about rejection of foreign aid and a secret decree preventing migration that I was not aware of so I will have to do more reading on the issue in question. Maybe Stalin did 'steal the food'.

      That said, pretending the current market economy set-up and it's incentives are inevitable or 'natural' is foolish. There will be alternatives and there will be change, it is the only constant.
