    We do not at all absolve Stalin from responsibility for the famine. His policies towards the peasants were ruthless and brutal.

    Your source directly states that those policies were real and that they happened. Soldiers confiscating food before winter and leaving farmers without any is not anything your source is denying.

    Anyone should take some boring history book over ‘a family member of a friend person I know’.

    Cool, I’ll trust more my GF’s grandma that had to live throught it. Thanks.

      lol yeah sure bud, it went from ‘a family member of a person I know’ to my ‘GF’s grandma had to live through it’, which is something a person who is lying about this would do so uh congrats? Stop getting your history info from Jordan Peterson, actually stop watching Jordan Peterson and you might even get a real girlfriend.

        my GF’s grandma that had to live through it is literally a family member of a person I know, I didn’t want to explose too much info, and given your reaction, I shouldn’t have. All it went was from low context to medium context, the info being the same.

        It’ seems like you have squared me as a white male American conservative (Jordan Peterson wtf…), so there’s no point in discussing it more. All I’m going to reveal is that I’m from Spain, and my partner was born in Ukraine, which I’m sure can be extracted from my post history so there’s no point in hiding that.

        Also, quite funny that when I raise my points about your own quote, you attack my personal experience and call me a liar.

        you might even get a real girlfriend

        :) Anyway, have a nice day.

          Oh I get it you are more into Franco, please tell me how did that fictional encounter happen did your GF show up with her grandma one day and granny was like “you are her boyfriend let me tell you about…” because I have a good friend who’s grandfather fought in the spanish civil war only I didn’t find out about this through his grandma but him because this is the person I’m actually close to. That’s why I know you are a liar, you can pretend all you want and add all the modifiers but I doubt it matters at this point it’s not like you can back down from this extravagant lie.

            You have a good friend? My grand parents fought on the civil war, and we lost. My family had to suffer through the Franco oppresion, I’m Basque for fuck’s sake, Almost all of my family memebrs had to suffer thought the Franco opporesion, on the schools, on the streets… They had to work with with the communities so that the local language was not lost.

            Ask your friend about the Ukranian immigration in Spain and Portugal, there’s quite a lot of them and some of those now have Spaniard nationalities. Anyway, I don’t get why I must defend myself, I get why American republicans are so good at what they do, if you attack nonstop you don’t have to justify shit.

            You are deraged, you have done nothing but attack the person instead of the idea, while calling me a liar nonstop. You must be a troll and while I enjoy reading on LGTB communities of hexbear, I fucking get why people want to defederate from hexbear, it’s not the communism, it’s you and people like you. Congrats.

            Enjoy your bubble.
