    Why does she scare me so much!! I feel like I have repressed memories of her psychologically torturing me at a sleepover in middle school

    I love my best friend so much, she wore the “eat the rich” T-shirt I got her to the debate watching party just to support me even though she’s politically illiterate and has no idea what it means 🥺

    Thank you so much for this! This is exactly the type of shit I’m looking for. I’m double stoked that it’s in audio format which I fuck with heavy (Tbh I feel like having to read so many academic texts in college has somehow made me p much illiterate now lol)

    I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Im a little confused tbh if you don’t mind clarifying a few things:)

    Correct me if I’m wrong I thought at the time like 90% of the people in the Soviet Union were still rural/peasantry...why would so much food need to be taken to the point of risking starvation in order to provide for the much smaller pop In the cities?

    Had the conditions at the time lowered production that much?

    Thanks so much!!! this is really great info and sources. Has anyone seen any death toll approximations out there that aren’t so blatantly false? I feel like an understanding of the actual scale of the famine would be really helpful for evaluating the Soviet response

    I’m obviously not gonna take everything at face value. also it’s not a decided issue on the left I believe so seeing the debate is useful. from what I’ve seen here ppl are much more truthful and give a lot better sources than what I would get if I googled holodomor.

    Well, I will. But a big point of the ep is that a lot of sources cited surrounding the issue are unreliable or straight propaganda and I don’t know if I could reliably spot that. Also, it’s a very big issue and I’m a slow reader so I thought reading other ppls takes could at least help me understand the debate and the sources. Idk why I would need to start from scratch alone when I am part of a community of people already familiar with the subject.
