    right? It says so much that all the people who hate communism are the ones who's businesses and family wealth were hurt - you will be looking for a while before you find an average person who lived under communism who hates communism.

    The good old Narcissist's Tankie's Prayer:

    That didn't happen,

    And if it did, it wasn't that bad,

    And if it was, that's not a big deal,

    And if it is, that's not my fault,

    And if it was, that's Western propaganda,

    And if it isn't, you deserved it.

    So true. Only neolibs have compassion for other people's suffering.

          Because they intentionally destroyed resources to fight collectivization (ie throwing a tantrum to avoid having to share with people with less than them), which while the process was admittedly mishandled ended up being a good thing in the long run.

          Also I'm not just going to believe a Wikipedia article that anyone with even slightly more than others was labled a Kulak anyway.

              It wasn't caused by collectivization and I said "the long run".

              That famine was the last one in the region. There had been famines in the region during the czar's time frequently.

              It wasn't a famine, Stalin literally ate all of the food single-handedly with his massive spoon. Tankies like you will deny this.
