You are completely misinformed.

First of all “kulaks” were not working peasants who lived self-sufficiently off farming their land and raising their livestock, you are thinking of “serednyaks”, the class below kulaks in the 4-tier rural class system of Imperial Russia. Kulaks were rural loan sharks and land owners who did not work but rather lived off extortionate interest rates from loans to “serednyaks” and from exploiting the labour of “bednyaks” (literally “the poor”) and, mainly, the seasonal labour of “batraks” who were the class below “the poor” - many of them homeless, traveling from village to village and working quite literally for a bit of food and a place to sleep in the barn.

If you intend to keep talking publically about kulaks, do look into those classes, look up who batraks were and what kind of life they lead before the revolution, the mortality, the diseases, how many they were compared to the number of kulaks. Find out what dekulakisation brought not only for kulaks, but also for that huge number of serednyaks, bednyaks, and batraks they exploited. Find out what dekulakisation did to overall child mortality, child hight, life expectancy, and so on.

Second, kulaks were not murdered, they were eliminated as an economic class by removing the relataionship of exploitation. Their lands were taken and given to the people, and the ones who resisted were deported with their families.

yeah go ask a neonazi mi6 asset lol

Mayo was a staple of Soviet cuisine, you could hardly find a salad without it, it was also a common ingredient in pies and even in sweet cakes.

Which you would’ve known had you been real KGB, western spy!

Ah yes, Thuringia where Social-Democratic party Die Linke was under illegal surveillance for being “extremist”

It’s like asking if doner kebab is some kind of shawarma, you’ll get a lot of people upset but nobody will explain the actual difference

We know from the past that Hamas deliberately park military assets near civilian infrastructure like schools, malls, etc so even if the maternity center and kindergarten aren’t lies it’s very likely they were hit incidentally after the terrorists used them as shields with the deliberate intent of making sure IDF killed civilians so they could sob about it.

Sounds familiar?

Whenever someone mentions kulaks I ask what they think about batraks and if they don’t know the word I disregard their opinion, simple as that

Ok that’s bs, prison conditions in general and work camp conditions in particular were what you would expect in a backwards agrarian country desperately fighting off waves of external aggression while trying to industrialise - horrific.

this ain’t it chief

Funny thing, the person in question watched manufacturing consent (didn’t read the book) and generally agrees mainstream news outlets are controlled by the capital (in many cases owned by capitalists and run for profit), but considers Wikipedia a step above - open, free, well sourcedᶜᶦᵗᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ ⁿᵉᵉᵈᵉᵈ, edited by regular people, etc.

Awesome, didn’t know that! I’ll look it up and read it for the talking points and sources. Definitely wouldn’t send grayzone links to a liberal, particularly after the COVID debacle.

Thank you, will definitely give it a watch. I honestly don’t mind “Stalin bad” because Stalin is a lost cause for the kind of people who rely on Wikipedia. Gotta choose your battles.

Thank you!

Actually the concept changed a lot over time. A few centuries ago it was perfectly acceptable to take someone’s story and characters and retell it in your own way, but copying someone’s style was frowned upon.

Never heard about them but just read the lyrics. Literally nothing anti Nazi about this song? If anything, regurgitating the clean Wehrmacht myth. Heroism of Nazis “saving” Berlin civilians from the scary commies.

The Red Army liberated Berlin.

Not surprised at all, he never said anything coherent. He was kinda funny but even that was mostly repeating old Soviet era jokes.

Noisy minority?

In a society where the following is normalised:

• Calling regular bombing of civilian population in Gaza “mowing the lawn”

• Organising large communal picnics atop a hill to watch the “fireworks” of aforementioned bombings for enjoyment

• Crowds loudly cheering and celebrating fire breaking out in Palestine mosque

• Calling restricting food inflow to Gaza to sustenance level “putting Arabs on diet”
