Literally sharing nazi propaganda from Hearst press lol
Anyway, capitalism is known for never having famines or economic crises, especially not cyclical ones
Well, actually I am sharing "Wikipedia Propaganda" but if you want to call Wikipedia Nazi-Propaganda...
And yes, the only pro-Western nation ever falling into a serious Food-Crisis was... Haiti.
See, I know we are doing something right. I am not sure what we do right and there is enough things we don't do right but... the right things we do amazingly right. If that is because the Ghosts of Hitler are possessing us all or that we are just not a bunch of utter idiots - you call.
And yes, the only pro-Western nation ever falling into a serious Food-Crisis was… Haiti.
Read Late Victorian Holocausts if you want to be less wrong.

The holodomor was originally fabricated by a hearst press associate at a time when Mr Hearst and the third Reich were openly collaborating on spreading nazi propaganda in the US. The famine was bad but the myth that it was a genocide needs to die as it is literally nazi propaganda and was used as a justification for collaborating with the holocaust in Eastern Europe
This is in fact the mainstream academic position. You may look to Conquest, Davies, and Wheatcroft, who are genuinely anticommunist historians, for their analysis (they all say it wasn't a genocide)
In what way is the Late Victorian Age "Pro-Western"? In the same way Dschengis Khan was "Pro-Western"? Besides, ONE book is quite vague for such an assumption as your claim isn't even listed in the list of great famines.
Oh, and you claim the Holodomor didn't happen? Well, let me guess, Stalin also didn't got 30 million sowiet people killed?
Tovarishch, your lies gave away whose bread you eat.
Late Victorian Age
It is literally a book about western liberal democracies committing genocide, including through intentionally creating famines.
Oh, and you claim the Holodomor didn’t happen? Well, let me guess, Stalin also didn’t got 30 million sowiet people killed?
Listen if you want to believe nazi propaganda that was used to justify collaborating with the holocaust you can be my guest. You just won't be in line with the mainstream academic concensus on the subject.
Suuure... Stalin was an agent of the West, send to kill Russians. Just like Dschingis Khan and Mohammed. All Agents of the West.
Thank you for making me aware of everything.
I will repeat:
Listen if you want to believe nazi propaganda that was used to justify collaborating with the holocaust you can be my guest. You just won’t be in line with the mainstream academic concensus on the subject.
Ah, the beauty of repeating the same stupid claim to make it appear more true.
While I appreciate your enthusiasm for alternative viewpoints, it's worth noting that mainstream academic consensus is typically based on extensive research, rigorous analysis, and a wealth of evidence. If you're inclined to embrace Nazi propaganda as a historical truth, you might find yourself in the rather exclusive company of conspiracy theorists. But hey, who needs consensus when you can have a party of one?
Well, I must say, your unique perspective certainly adds a touch of humor to the conversation! Your ability to find amusement in the unlikeliest of places is truly admirable. Keep those witty remarks coming, and you might just give the comedians a run for their money!
Have you read literally any academic literature on ukrainian collaboration with the holocaust, or any academic literature on the holodomor after the soviet archives opened?
Have you read any history on the way Hearst Collaborated with the nazis?
Have you read anything about the first time the holodomor story aired, and how it was debunked?
No?
Then you're just following corporate media opinion because you trust corporate media more than actual historians(many of who are anticommunist), even though the corporate media opinion is literally nazi propaganda that was used to justify killing jews, and all the facts in the world wouldn't reason you out of a position you've gotten into based on blind trust.
-Holodomor after the Soviet archives opened: The Holodomor was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-1933. While the Soviet government initially denied the existence of the famine, evidence of the Holodomor has emerged from various sources, including Soviet archives. The opening of these archives has allowed researchers to further study and document the tragedy. You are basically claiming the Soviets and Putin themselves are lying. And you know what happens to people who say Putin lies.
-Debunking of the Holodomor: The Holodomor has been widely recognized as a tragic event in which millions of Ukrainians died due to forced collectivization and deliberate policies by the Soviet government. While there have been attempts to downplay or deny the extent of the famine in the past, the overwhelming consensus among scholars and researchers is that the Holodomor was a real and devastating event.
-Ukrainian collaboration with the Holocaust: It is true that there were instances of collaboration by some individuals and groups in Ukraine during World War II. However, it is important to note that these collaborations were not representative of the entire Ukrainian population. Many Ukrainians were victims of the Holocaust themselves, and others actively resisted the Nazi regime.
-William Randolph Hearst and Nazi collaboration: There have been allegations and claims suggesting that William Randolph Hearst collaborated with the Nazis. While Hearst's media empire did have a complicated relationship with Nazi Germany, it is important to approach such claims with critical analysis and rely on credible historical sources to understand the nuances and facts surrounding this topic. Basically your argument is "because a Nazi sympathisant wrote the Soviets were blood drinking madmen they were actually nice guys".
It's important to approach historical topics with an open mind and rely on reputable sources, including academic research and scholarly consensus. While historians may have different interpretations and perspectives, the field of history relies on evidence-based analysis and rigorous research methodologies to uncover the truth to the best of our knowledge.

All but one of the sources it cited either state the opposite of what chatgpt said they do or don't exist
“Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine” by Anne Applebaum
From a guardian review of the book: "Though sympathetic to the sentiments behind it, [Applebaum] ultimately doesn’t buy the Ukrainian argument that Holodomor was an act of genocide."

This book doesn't exist as far as I'm aware

This book doesn't exist either

Don't try to derail the discussion. Toothbrush argued that the Holdomor never happened while the whole world knows somewhere between three and five million Ukrainians died during this part of Stalins reign. We never even discussed if it was a genocide.
So show your true intentions and explain to me:
And as a nice excursus, the total numbers of people dying to Stalins misrule is nearly the same as those who died to the Axis Invasion. A nice chap, old Stalin, isn't he? But calm down, he is only number two after Mao in murdering his own people. And that is what Putin is aiming for, recreation of Stalinism.
but capitalism still has issues mabye ecofashisim is the way for as minimized issues as possible?
Oof, too real, you have to add a sarcasm tag
What does that even mean? Give us some practical advice
It means they want to shit on anyone who suggests any mechanism for social change that might actually work instead of wanking about some glorious revolution that'll never happen. Just another way of maintaining the status quo while pretending to be a revolutionary.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again, and also blame everyone else that you had to kill your own people for the good of the whole....
Classic communist tactics, Tovarishch, and if it fails you just didn't believe hard enough...
