"Total deaths Vary from 3.3 to 7.5 million, see death tool"
A lot of heads had to be shaved there
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.
don't worry about it, it was the weather that caused the famine, not collectivization. - @Xinyue
I did not actually say the weather caused the famine
but whatever, Storm's gonna Storm
@Xinyue now i know that you will just lie straight faced 😄
I said there were many reasons for why the famine happened, such as
a) the industrial level of Russia and Ukraine at the time
b) the complications in the collectivisation process, such as the kulaks killing their livestock
c) other factors such as the weather variables at the time, which are cited by sometimes by famine researchers
I said from the get-go that it was an event that had multiple causes and it can't be totally reduced to the Soviet government, *much less* any murderous intent on the part of the Soviets
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.
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

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
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
