    Due to Ukrainian anti-soviet (nazi) influence in 1990s, the famine was upgraded to a genocide for Ukraine (Holomodor). “Stalin bad” is a welcome narrative for US/CIA.

    There was a genuine global famine at the time, and the US demanded Stalin pay USSR debt in food. Most of those exports went through Ukraine, and so Ukraine had some agency in its own famine levels. Ukraine’s per capita food allotment was higher than most USSR states including non-nazi/non-antagonist Kazahkstan which had more deaths but did not declare famine a genocide.

    The complex politics, like Syria’s famine/drought that sowed the seeds for ISIS/Israel takeover, meant not making everyone happy. Bourgeois farmers outside of Ukraine, the Kulaks, wanted extortion, famine market, pricing, and Stalin wanted to pay them less.

    The Irish Potato famine, was an oligarchist driven famine, the US would approve Stalin of having chosen. There was plenty of Irish potato production, but the prices were too high for the Irish to pay, so they were exported more. Stalin’s “crime” was fighting extortion pricing.

        DPRK has democratic as first word! National socialism is very similar to MAGA. Very strong oligarchist power concentration with the false promise of trickle down, and favouring the pure nationals in trickle down. Great employment opportunities in rounding up others, and working for the national champion oligarchs.

        It is definitely not a movement meant to distribute food and housing to people, or even confiscation of oligarchist enterprises for national/social profit. The primary identity of German Nazi/CIA politics is anti-communism. Reichstag fire was opportunity to ban the main opposition, communist party. There was a Jewish connection made in that Russia/Europe communist leaders were Jewish, and German Jewish diaspora was “lunatic radical left woke” non-nazi voters.

          Democracy is a form of government: when one group forces another group to do things. Democracy is just a flimsy pretext to justify the actions of the first group against the second group. ‘You have to do es we say or else. It’s ok because we voted on it.’ Nazis operated under socialism. All governments are, by there nature, authoritarian. Even (or maybe especially) democratic rule.
