      Nice of you to completely make shit up. How were the Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians, or many others just trying to live in their own countries “the opressors?” Were they opressing the communists by saying that they shouldn’t burry protesting miners alive? You have exactly zero idea what you are talking about, and it shows.

        The 1930s famine was the last major famine out of wartime in the Soviet Union, same with the Great Chinese Famine, in countries where famine was common and regular before. Life expectancy doubled under Socialism in both the USSR and PRC as a consequence in the first few decades.

          Every single one of those sources shows evidence directly linking communist policies to the famines. They are also widely accepted as communist man-made famines by historians. But once again, its easier to make shit up instead of providing any source. I really didn’t expect lemmy to be already filled with russian trolls and tankies.

            Famines had been commonplace occurrences in feudal China and Russia, which the communist states brought an end to. And those final famines occurred under post-war conditions, and under disastrous crop seasons that affected neighboring states as well.

            .

            I really didn’t expect lemmy to be already filled with russian trolls and tankies.

            We’re not trolls, and many of us are socialists. Actual socialists, not “capitalism with a social safety net” like Bernie Sanders or the Nordic countries. I understand if it’s a bit of a shock to leave the echo chamber that is imperial core corporate social media and hear different perspectives for once. Lemmy is “already filled with” socialists because it was created by socialists. You are in our anti-capitalist space.

            Communist policies played a part because Communists were in power while they happened, and the Communists ended the famine. I never made anything up.

            Lemmy has Marxists, the lead devs are Marxist-Leninists and some of the biggest instances are Marxist-based.
