Most of Asia, really

And the Irish famine.

I should add that the Black Book includes ridiculous things like Nazi soldier deaths in WW2, and the hypothetical children that possibly could have been born if things like the 1933 famine or WW2 didn’t happen. I shouldn’t have even called it a source, but anti-communists love treating it like gospel.

Yeah it's literally killing people right now.

Can't pay for shelter, food, water or medicine? Go into debt, jail or the morgue, we don't give a fuck.

And are people being exposed to lead because they’re huffing it for fun or because they work within a capitalist system that doesn’t care enough about exposing people to lead?

lead is banned almost everywhere and the cost of replacing it is too high in e.g. pipes

Plenty of people talk about the issues with lead, what are you on?

More like laughs in being a shameful ignoramus helping spread literal fascist propaganda.

During the 1932 Holodomor Famine, the USSR sent aid to affected regions in an attempt to alleviate the famine. According to Mark Tauger in his article, The 1932 Harvest and the Famine of 1933:

While the leadership did not stop exports, they did try to alleviate the famine. A 25 February 1933 Central Committee decree allotted seed loans of 320,000 tons to Ukraine and 240,000 tons to the northern Caucasus. Seed loans were also made to the Lower Volga and may have been made to other regions as well. Kul'chyts'kyy cites Ukrainian party archives showing that total aid to Ukraine by April 1933 actually exceeded 560,000 tons, including more than 80,000 tons of food

Some bring up massive grain exports during the famine to show that the Soviet Union exported food while Ukraine starved. This is fallacious for a number of reasons, but most importantly of all the amount of aid that was sent to Ukraine alone actually exceeded the amount that was exported at the time.

Aid to Ukraine alone was 60 percent greater than the amount exported during the same period. Total aid to famine regions was more than double exports for the first half of 1933.

According to Tauger, the reason why more aid was not provided was because of the low harvest

It appears to have been another consequence of the low 1932 harvest that more aid was not provided: After the low 1931, 1934, and 1936 harvests procured grain was transferred back to peasants at the expense of exports.

Tauger is not a communist, and ultimately this specific article takes the view that the low harvest was caused by collectivization (he factors in the natural causes of the famine in later articles, based on how he completely neglects to mention weather in this article at all its clear that his position shifted over the years). However, its interesting to see that the Soviets really did try to alleviate the famine as best as they could.

Libs are always so grateful to cling to fascist double genocide theory as a comforting mythology.

Crazy to perpetuate double Genocide theory in the big 26

They didn't have to recede to survive, they were fucking killed that's why they're not socialist anymore. Because they were all overthrown or sanctioned to hell or invaded.

Capitalism has instability built into its model because it generates inevitable class conflict that has to be resolved through violence. There is no such thing as a stable capitalist state.

Capitalism hasn't even survived with stability in the short term: it's yet to manage even a century without a catastrophic crisis.

Capitalism is dominant because it is the only model known to survive with stability long term over massive populations.

Gee I wonder why socialist countries you are thinking of just up and failed?! Just spontaneously happened, no external interference whatsoever, no siree!

India wasn't a capitalist country when they colonised us and killed millions of us.

^ how to say you're an ignoramus who's never read a book

Person who has never read a word of Marx but has an opinion anyway

enlightened centrism at its finest

Remember you used this logic next time we have to listen to you stump for literally Hitler in a blue necktie

Which country reached communism and then how did it suck equally as bad as 10 million poor people dying every year under capitalism?
