yes

many reasons

i never said that weather was the cause

thanks for quote-confirming me

i would NEVER

>the complications in the collectivisation process, such as the kulaks killing their livestock

people protested when their livelihood was forcibly removed by the system
shock: imagined

weather probably played some effect, although I think the crop sabotage and livestock killing was probably primary

@Xinyue u wot m8

Welp... wiki is a mastersource in debates.

historical revisionism 0 wiki 1

I still did not say that the weather caused the famine, your statement from here is incorrect

```don't worry about it, it was the weather that caused the famine, not collectivization. - @not gay reddit```

You made the claim that I did; I never did

@ecojuche Stern's distinction between "bad peasants" and "good peasants" is subservience to the marxist order. Note that today's marxists (most of whom don't realize that they are marxists) think much the same of the "bigoted" working class.
Interesting.
the distinction between good peasants and bad peasants wasn't brought up by me btw

in the very quote you used I put the main emphasis on the complications in collectivisation

like wtf

that's why I posted them in quotations

```weather probably played some effect, although I think the crop sabotage and livestock killing was probably primary```

some farmers killing a few animals and burning few crops caused an entire famine that killed millions of people.. the systemic policy of eliminating productive farmers, replacing them with bad labor and then transporting all their produce to the city, didn't..

that is another level of woke

@Stern doesn't matter if you brought it up, that was your distinction

> a few animals

literally in hundreds of thousands, if the data from the time is anything to go by

data collected by the soviet system

which totally wasn't filled with liars and criminals

why would a farmer kill their own farm animal doing damage to themselves? @Xinyue

@ecojuche it wasn't but ok

a very reliable source

yes, which was a *planned economic system,* meaning they didn't gather data for shits and giggles but for the purposes of actually carrying out their system

will you ever answer that question? lol

@ecojuche wait so you trust a guy that never went to ukraine over the government that ruled over ukraine

🤔

hmmm

seems like some ideology in that statement

further, at least people with my position *have* data to point to. the people who are in the opposite camp have no data on the livestock

@Stern do you trust the govt of North Korea?

"SternDziś o 18:35
@ecojuche they weren't the food production class, they were the landowner class
kulaks =/= catch all for peasant class" "SternDziś o 18:36
@Aki they decreased it to send grain to the actual non-aristocratic peasants"

@AdorableStormtrooper idgaf about nk

@Stern nice way to avoid the question

@Aki yes

@AdorableStormtrooper I answered the question

So what are you even claiming?

@Xinyue will you answer the question mate? why did they protest?

Soviet Union actively needed data on the number of livestock and the state of the crops to even basically function.
