Ok, let’s see them

2020-01-29 18:20:45 UTC  

Apparently not if you're asking me for those stats

2020-01-29 18:20:49 UTC  

Right hold up

2020-01-29 18:20:56 UTC  

I am currently asking you for these stats

2020-01-29 18:21:05 UTC  

Show me that the population of Ukraine did not drop.

2020-01-29 18:23:05 UTC  

I actually agree with you in you argument with Boo.

2020-01-29 18:23:41 UTC  

Lol

2020-01-29 18:24:12 UTC  

Here, educate yourself.

2020-01-29 18:24:18 UTC  

It’s a great book

2020-01-29 18:24:35 UTC  

Might help dissuade you from tankie conspiracy theories.

2020-01-29 18:28:46 UTC  

@Deleted User Right here's a bunch of things to look through

2020-01-29 18:29:07 UTC  

Don’t give me a data dump, make your actual argument

2020-01-29 18:29:39 UTC  

Oh

2020-01-29 18:29:47 UTC  

Yeah while I’m sure TheFinnishBolshevik from mltheory.com is just the HEIGHT of credibility

2020-01-29 18:29:53 UTC  

Make your actual case for what you think happened

2020-01-29 18:29:57 UTC  

And then support it with data

2020-01-29 18:30:12 UTC  

Alright then here we go

2020-01-29 18:31:02 UTC  

First let's talk about Ukraine before the 30's

2020-01-29 18:31:05 UTC  

Or in fact

2020-01-29 18:31:21 UTC  

The Russian empire in general

2020-01-29 18:31:45 UTC  

Famine was a common thing. It happened every 5-7 years

2020-01-29 18:32:02 UTC  

Stats

2020-01-29 18:32:52 UTC  

Jeez I'm gonna have to bring something for every arguement I make.
Alright hold up so I could find it in my library

2020-01-29 18:33:06 UTC  

Yeah, you need to make your case

2020-01-29 18:33:34 UTC  

I’ve never seen any stats for tsarist agricultural yield, if you’re basing an argument on that then I want to see some data

2020-01-29 18:33:45 UTC  

Otherwise maybe you’re right maybe you’re not

2020-01-29 18:34:04 UTC  

I’ll certainly agree it was not technologically advanced, and I’m sure it suffered famine occasionally

2020-01-29 18:37:14 UTC  

What is this debate about?

2020-01-29 18:37:38 UTC  

Basically what happened in rural Ukraine under Stalinist rule

2020-01-29 18:38:15 UTC  

And whether there was a concerted effort by Stalin to kill off the rural population, or if it was a famine relief program

2020-01-29 18:38:26 UTC  

Mostly starvation

2020-01-29 18:39:03 UTC  

Why would Stalin want to kill off the rural population, he needs them for agriculture

2020-01-29 18:39:04 UTC  

I had a professor who said about it: “Stalin needed to urbanize quickly, and the best way to make people move to the cities is to make it impossible to live in the country”

2020-01-29 18:39:10 UTC  

Urbanization

2020-01-29 18:41:30 UTC  

@Deleted User Well sorry that I have to look through dozens of documents to find that one specific thing you want from me but this isn't exactly a planned debate. If you want me to debate about it like you do then I can just say "read [insert book name]" like you do and leave it at that but I know that doesn't get us anywhere with the debate

2020-01-29 18:41:39 UTC  

So do you want to debate or...

2020-01-29 18:42:08 UTC  

Do you want to engage in your identity politics?

2020-01-29 18:42:16 UTC  

@Boo I didn’t ask you to comment on famine rates in tsarist Russia, you did that
