RE: Bernie Sanders - Socialist - Campaing in $450,000 Debt: Kicker - He Won't Pay

Here we go again. Stalin forced starvation onto the Ukrainians to break their will. He intentionally did it. He used the military (with force) to stop the most fertile producers in the entire country to break Ukrainian nationalism and seize full power over the state. He starved them and created a famine, freaking idiotic communism. Dude, these guys intentionally kill their own for the purpose of power.

Sort:  

its because they burned the crops and salted the land because he wouldn't let them use their food as leverage. There simply wasn't enough food and they made it worse so they suffered for it. Somebody had to starve, so it was those who forced it on everyone

Great so we agree that under communism it is acceptable to use force in order to seize one's possessions, even to the point of death, for political power. Centralized political power, under a militaristic dictatorship. Now we're getting somewhere.
