What’s the point of asking questions if you’re gonna block?
What CIA says or doesn’t say is literally, irrelevant. We have plenty of accounts from within Europe.
That other user very conveniently left out the 3 baltic countries where the vast majority doesn’t want to rejoin. And those 3 countries just so happen to also have much higher gdppc and ppp than the rest.
You’re not fighting misinformation by being a Stalin apologist. And certainly not with your whataboutism. This isn’t about Cuba… or the US.
No idea where this 100m+ is from or that communist countries doeant have food. Literally never heard that. Are you just making up myths so you can “debunk” them?
The famines were created by Stalins collectivisation. His policy dealt the final blow that doomed millions to starvation. They had food. They just didn’t let certain people keep it…
You’re not fooling anyone. We know things were not great under Stalin. From the famines to the arbitrary dissapearnces and arrests. But keep excusing it.
It’s so hilarious that you say you fight against ICE, while defending the Soviet’s far worse version of “ICE”. You know how ICE drags people off the street in broad daylight. That’s what happened back then too.
