  • Rapid industrialization at the cost of millions of lives was only a necessity because Stalin insisted on Socialism in One Country.

    Had proletariat revolutions not failed elsewhere, especially Western Europe, there would be no need for such a haphazard and reckless transition.

  • People should steal food from hoarders to redistribute it to starving peasants actually.

    I agree, but the quota on kulak liquidation led to starving peasants being targeted.

    If youre talking about grain quotas they stopped taking grain out of the region and started importing food when they realized there was a famine.

    After millions of people had already starved to death. A minor but necessary bump in the road toward industrialization, I'm sure.

  • Are there Kulaks in the room with you right now?

    The soviets took enough grain from Ukrainian peasants to induce widespread hunger and death. But let's blame 1% of the peasantry who had already liquidated as a class.

  • Why put invaded in quotes? Did it not happen?

    At that time, there was no Poland

    The Polish government fled to Romania the day after the Soviets invaded. So yes, there was still a Poland. Just like there was a Poland when the Soviets and the Nazis planned to invade the country and split it amongst themselves.

  • Chamberlain was booted out of office over appeasement. You're still defending Stalin's decision to invade Poland with the Nazis. That's the difference between reasonable people and tankies.
