as you said
So you have no data no statistics no nothing?
do I have statistics based on alternate history?
I'm sorry Aki, but we have let people starve because that's us making a better world by implementing Socialism.
I don't live in data. I don't have every page and every file open 24/7. I am not a bot, I do not at will immerse myself in the virtual space.
Well you are making those claims so you have to have something to back it up
Everyone who died was a Casualty for a Great Cause 😃😄
but it doesn't seem like you do
But we do know that there was only one holodomor; there was no successor
I'm going to lay it out step by step again ffs
and from this, things can be inferred
ok go on
oh yes, there were never any food shortages in Soviet Union after Famines
It can be inferred that it was a once-at-a-time incident, in the early phase of the country's development, when it was underdeveloped and that it was never repeated that it was not intentional
It was the direct result of Soviet Policy.
not intentional though, most likely not
hence not murdering of millions
If you kill millions of people through written policy that transports all their food to the cities and many of them to Gulags, it isn't murder?
those 600K-700K people who were shot *were* intentional killings, so I suggest that the indictments on Soviet government focus on these tragedies
not the famines that seem to be due to other reasons than intent
golden blockade: ussr has to pay for industrialization in grain and western nations no longer accept gold as payment
USSR has to industrialize to make itself a player in the world stage since it is surrounded by nations that want it to collapse, so it's either death by war or fast industrialization
Without industrialized transportation and production systems, famine is more likely to occur
So the USSR paid for the industrialization in the only material the western nations would accept @Aki
"Only the people who die as a result of policy i don't like are legitimate murders."
you're stating the opposite tbh
"Deaths resulting from my favorite policies are just woopsies, ignore"
you're saying the soviets deserved terrorism because you disagree with them
Murder by definition implies intent
you do not have murder without intent
```murder
/ˈməːdə/
noun
noun: murder; plural noun: murders
1.
the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.```
Ok?
this was not premeditated
therefore,
not murder
and?
yes, its not intentional, and not murder. glad we agree
It was the Result of Soviet Collectivization is all I said
lol
Soviet State is responsible
it resulted from the decision to go forward with it, and was due to many factors that all joined up in the collectivisation era. but it was not intentional, its not like Soviet government *wanted* people to die, and once the thing was complete it never happened again. at most the famine can be called a tragic hickup
@Stern The farmers didn't deserve to be transported to Gulags run by a Foreign People and they didn't deserve to be starved while their produce was sent to the cities to Urbanization Projects, that's the Terrorism of the Soviet State
```Kulaks have no agency. Sabotage of crops and killing of livestock by the hundreds of thousands was done by NPCs who do not have moral agency by the virtue of not being sentient.```

I said it was a Protest which was the result of Soviet Policy which anyway ended up killing millions while blaming small time farmers for it all
