"The Taber-Warner MLA is no stranger to controversy.

In 2016, Hunter was one of eight then-Wildrose MLAs who signed a column comparing the carbon tax to the genocide of millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s. The party later apologized.

In 2018, he apologized after comparing the NDP's 2015 election victory to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed more than 200,000 people, the Taber Times reported. "

no wonder Rachel Notley had a chance, I guess

Wtf are you even talking about

@What Would Jack Conte Do? stalin had around 40-45 while Mao had around 60-80 million

Those 2 are around 100 million

What does count as a death tho

This shit can get reeally complicated sometimes - if you decide to join a war, are the soldiers and civilians who die your fault?

Is it only the people deliberately killed?

Or even unintended casualties

@JayJS I'm pretty sure Mao and Stalin's counts are mostly prisoners and their own people lololo

I would argue Stalin and Mao would be in the millions if only actual intended deaths were counted

most was undesirables and it was easy to get on that list

The vast majority of that death toll is a result of shitty management and economic restructuralization

Holodomor is not any worse than the Bengal famine imo

Both were a result of mismanagement and were not addressed well enough

didn't Stalin's sister commit suicide when she found out about ukrainian starvations?

No, Holodomor is forced purposeful genocide

No it wasnt

yeah she killed herself, because she knew Stalin was allowing it

It was an economic restructuralization program

A total push for industrialization

Stalin purlosely starved them

JayJS you should join antifa if you try to justify the holodomor

Stalin would be happy if they have survived

He wanted workers in factories

Ukraine was an agricultural third world shithole

If the Holodomor was an accident then the Holocaust was an accident too

well soldiers shooting farmers for eating the food they was growing so not to starve to death was a pure accident.... sure

Oof

Holocaust was deliberately genocidal

No, it was an accident

Juat like your tying to sayong Holodomor was

You haven't read Hitler's opinions on jews?

Holodomor was an act of callousness for the purpose of economic progress

So was the Great Leap Forward

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

If the industrialization of the Soviet Union could be achieved without starvation, Stalin would have taken that option without question

You didnt hear of stalins plan for Kulaks?
