He's not entirely wrong, there were natural factors at work, famine was there regardless of who was in charge (famines had been happening regularly in imperial Russia and imperial China long before the communists took over). However in Ukraine's case the Soviet government deliberately worsened the crisis in order to teach the "kulaks" a lesson. It was either feed the countryside or feed the cities (where the bolsheviks had a lot more support).

I'm pretty sure it happened because the Kulaks decided that burning their crops, destroying their stored food, and killing their farm animals was better than collectivization.

burning crops removes them from the equation for a season. When a famine takes more than a single season, it kiiiinda indicates that there were other factors involved.

It's probably difficult to grow food there. I'd imagine.

Also, Russia was probably angry and just said "Fuck 'em".


I'm not defending the USSR here, I'm just saying that it started with one thing that was their own fault, and then Russia just made it worse on purpose.

It was against the Kulaks interests for the grain to be collectivised and since Stalin refused to negotiate this was their only option since the government violated their freedoms. Instead of telling them to collectivise the grain they should of negotiated another system even if the Soviets had to pay the Kulaks money for the farms.

Fire doesn't exhaust soil. Depending on what's burning over top it can be quite good for it, in fact.
I'm saying that the kulaks spoiling food, while real, explains very little of Russia's agricultural problems starting from collectivisation and ending with the wall coming down. Piss poor productivity lasted quite long.

He's the Russian version of Ayn Rand.

Stalin was a red fascist though.

Revolutionary France allowed private property. Mate, he was a communist but he was also a crazy paranoid delusional genocidal mongrel who tried to get rid of several minorities.

Fascism is a bit odd overall, since while private property was allowed (assuming you served the state), but large-scale capitalism was generally opposed.

Good if you hate capitalism, hate communism, and want to be a dictator.
