    Stalin actively tried to stop people from worshipping him. He resisted Yezhov's fanatical excesses and the creeping revisionism.

    Considering the man who wrote that was a fascist sympathizer, I don't trust him.

    I'd like to destroy our economic system and replace it with a more ethical alternative.

    Don't like Solzhenytsin?

    Fortunately, there is extensive documentation. And I can direct you to:

    The History of the Gulag: From Collectivization to the Great Terror
    By Олег Витальевич Хлевнюк

    https://books.google.com/books?id=n...ckQ6AEIIzAB#v=onepage&q=GULAG DENIERS&f=false

    I am confident that, as you are a keen student of the Soviet Union, you will want to read this.

    Here is a single sentence from page 58:

    "On the average, in early 1933, up to 15 percent of the prisoners died from hunger every month in Uzbekistan; in January 15 percent of the Tashkent prison inmates died, and in February 25 percent"

    The entire country was starving at that time. It was 1933 for Christ's sake.

    Allow me to dig into my agitprop folder to post some infographics.

    If this were the case, we should see all historical groups dividing themselves along racial lines. We don't. In-group/out-group think is universal, but thinking about groups along racial (white/black/asian/etc.) lines is a fairly modern invention.

    Thank you for reminding us of yet another of Stalins's crimes: the Holodomor

    The idea that the union-wide famine of the 30s was intentional is absurd propaganda. It was invented by the nazi party to try to discredit the communists.

    Russia and the surrounding area regularly suffered famines for centuries. This one was just worse than the others because the wealthiest peasants decided to protest the state seizing control of agriculture by destroying their crops and livestock en masse.

    Notice that after that one, there was finally an end to the centuries of famine that had plagued the area. Communists did that.

    I don't think that the USSR and Mao-era china were perfect at all. They did a lot of things wrong. But I also think that they did the best they could in their situation and that they were far better than the capitalists who had been profiting off of the suffering and death of the entire working class ever since the french revolution.

    Not really. I just called you out, and predictability you reacted the way I expect you to always react.
    By the way, the panthers are going to get destroyed by the Cardnials in the playoffs.

    Who knows why prisons are seperate from the reality of living free. Maybe they get more respect if they seperate themselves by race.

    I have to disagree, racists have been around sense the beginning of human evolution. It's an instinctual nature to be separated by race. One thing is true though, racism is more complicated because media feeds it for the sake of ratings and feeding of the separation of US citizens.

    Such "instinctual nature" is pseudoscience. Races are too genetically homogenous with one another to back up the claim that we instictually avoid other races. I didn't have to overcome any such segregationist instinct when I started dating my wife. When Pocohantus married John Rolfe, the English were upset that such a woman would marry below her class, but we have no record of any Englishman claiming that their different races were of any concern. The whole Black/Asian/White identification is an entirely modern invention.

    Progress!

    Before the modern era, there was too little intercourse (heh!) between different peoples to understand the differences in race.

    With respect to you, not knowing you, that's a bit of a racist statement. My bet is all black people know of the Black Lives Matter movement. The first sign of racism in someone is to underestimate a group based on color.

    Sort of like poor blacks not being able to get IDs yet poor whites having no problem. I always thought that a strange Liberal stance and quite a racist view of the average black persons ability.

    I am pretty sure most white folks have heard of the BLM, again my question is what % of black or white folks do you think actually follow the movement?

    As Bob Whitaker one put it, there is no evil whites have ever done that has not been done by any other group. It is the good that whites have done that is unique.

    If you support the moving of hundreds of millions of third worlder's into every white country and only into white countries, and also support forced integration you are for white genocide.

    Eventually the Cultural Marxist will come after blacks too, and there will be no one left to stand up for you.

    To quote from Whitaker;s Mantra about your interest::salute:

    "Now what if I told you that there was this race problem and that this race problem would only be solved by moving hundreds of millions of non-blacks into every black country and only into black countries and make them assimilate with all these non-blacks?
    How long would it take for anyone to realize that I'm not talking about a race problem, what I'm talking about it the final solution to the black problem? And what sane black man wouldn't soon notice this, and what kind of a psycho black man wouldn't object to this?"
