"Effectively a law of specks, where even 3 specks of food in a starving person's pocket during the Soviet famine of 1932-1933 qualified them as a thief of state-owned food in the government's view"

yeah the article even says that the intention of the law was to prosecute thieves

Jesus

@BabaBooey How do we know those are the exact translations?

Relax

ask and you shall receive

I didnt ask for shit negroid

citations given

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck probably because they didn't want it to stain their reputation

@Son of Rome stfu mutt

@BabaBooey Baba, you literally live on the brownest coast of the US, stfu

(and that's brown on multiple levels)

when you define 'theif' as 'peasant starving after you stole their grain'

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck white knight for fash more 😂

classical liberalism 101

@BabaBooey cry harder, nigger

<:FuzzyPeach:583773935385182231>

When you implement a law in which "The primary punishment for theft of 3 grains was execution by shooting" - you're reputation is already worthless.

it was supposed to target people who were hiding grain from procurement

Fascism best ism

and killing livestock

in protest

citation needed

stalin considered that an act of war

then sure

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck you dont read sources

you just goalpoast shift and attack the source

@BabaBooey I don't know if those sources are accurately translated

>hiding grain from procurement

STEALING THE PEASANTS GRAIN AND CAUSING THE FAMINE AND CALLING THE PEOPLE YOU GENOCIDE 'THEIVES' AS JUSTIFICATION

SURE YEAH

Those are literally Discord messages, do you have an article saying as much?

any rando can put up some russian shit and say that it says any number of things

well if they didn't take it that would mean someone else would starve right

so it doesn't really cause the famine

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck why dont you read up on them then instead of being lazy and just dismissing citations when given

you could argue that in some instances it shifts who the famine impacts

@BabaBooey Posting the USSR's official justification for the "collective ownership" of Ukrainian farmland doesn't change the law that resulted only 3 years later enforcing the execution of anyone with 3 pieces of fucking grain to feed their starving families.
