Hey Ian, I think you should focus on the suffering of the victims of genocide, not the people perpetrating the genocide. You sound like someone equating Dresden with the Holocaust.

If you'd read Marx you wouldn't be advocating the continued existence of the commodity form.

I'm anti-Israeli AND I condemn Netanyahu.

I simply do not care who wins. They are both absolute freaks. You cannot convince me Biden winning is "harm reduction" when he's supporting a genocide as we speak.

Please read Marx, this is social-fascist jibber jabber.

The People's Police are good and necessary

That is literally liberal democracy.

No, we do currently have formal equality before the law. Obviously the "democracy" still represents the bourgeoisie.

Yes we do. America is a liberal democracy. Liberal democracy just sucks.

While the fact that the Holodomor doesn't meet the legal definition of genocide doesn't make the suffering of the victims less horrid, it is important to avoid spreading misinformation, especially on the topic of genocide. To do so only muddies the waters.

Now does this mean everyone who believed the Holodomor was an intentional genocide is a Nazi? No. It does seem to originate as a Nazi conspiracy theory to serve as propaganda for WWII however.

I would not take any of his work on the famine itself seriously. What is interesting however is his work into the origins of the genocide accusations. In, "Fraud, Famine, Fascism"[8] he writes:

Tottle wrote his book before the Soviet archives were opened, meaning that like most other work written before then, it is now obsolete. He was also given special access to the Soviet archives, and can by no means be considered an unbiased source.

The origins of the famine-as-genocide theory are more controversial. They seem to have originated as a Nazi propaganda campaign against the Soviets. I am citing Tottle here, but I would like to caution against blindly trusting his work.
