Soon it will be 7 million, making it the biggest genocide ever. No, those Russians the nazis killed don't count.

They want to build the monument larger than and in front of the Holocaust memorial. I don't see how they don't inflate the number to get past 6M.


The US WW2 Museum started to get into this literally the day the Ukraine War started, so expect to never hear about it again

Now, here's the interesting thing - the vast majority of those bullets were not fired by Germans. A quarter of the Holocaust, minimum (because the same thing happened in Lithuania, where 90% of the Jewish population was killed) remains unexplained in narratives that omit that. A greater problem would be that at Baba Yar and elsewhere the killings were in progress before the Wehrmacht even arrived, let alone the Security Police and other administrators of the Final Solution. It makes sense to me that something larger needs to obscure this tragedy, hence Double Genocide, as you all know.

But even within Double Genocide theory, they have created a dichotomy where the "implementation" of one, the famine, is clear, but not its motivation, and the motivation of the other is supposedly clear, but not its implementation. Even in the story they're telling, these can't be held up to be the same thing.

Really, they have the problem of two competing audiences. Domestically, it's understood that the atrocities (and natural disasters) attributed to the Soviets were the Judeo-Bolsheviks' fault, and therefore the Holocaust was justified, but since they can't say that to western audiences, really the best they've produced is two unrelated (by their own explanations of cause and effect) bad things happened in a region. That's not really a coherent narrative.

The most obvious tell is that the Ukrainian and Baltic nationalists, so far as I am aware, never say that the Holocaust is a bad thing that happened to them, as a nation. The famine was done to Ukraine and Ukrainians, the Holocaust...just happened? I don't know, I'm curious how far the mask slips now that western liberals are enraptured with Eastern European blood and soil nationalism.

they're too invested in either of these narratives to really let them go

Among them are tenured academics like Dr. Asatar Bair, who recently annoyed Fox News by calling Stalin “one of the great leaders of the 20th century” who had “the strength to make tough decisions that have no easy answers.”

taking the side of Fox News is leftist praxis. great job dem socs.

In the ongoing rivalry between the two powers, Stalin and his propagandists never missed a chance to slam the United States for its record on racial injustice, deploying the bitter phrase “А у вас негров линчуют” (“And you are lynching Negroes!”) whenever American diplomats criticized the USSR’s human rights abuses. This was, of course, a cynical ploy,

that article feels ai generated, the writing is just too bad and trite to be real. its too shallow for anyone with a functional brain to have written. I refuse to accept it as real, unlike the holodomor.

Stalin was worse than a “flawed” or “corrupted” communist. Rather—with the single exception of Hitler—he was the most lethal anticommunist of his time.

Anyone who still uses the word 'tankie' or calls themselves a 'Democratic Socialist' should grow up and learn the lesson of Sanders and Corbyn: you can distance yourself from Communism and The Bad Socialists and Authoritarian Regimes, hollow out your politics to be as non-challenging as possible, squeeze yourself into the Overton window, play nice with imperialism, be the mildest of Social Democrats, etc, as much as you like—but if it looks for a moment like you might get near power, Capital will ratfuck you in a heartbeat all the same.

Consider yourself lucky that, unlike the left of the Global South, you have been taught this lesson bloodlessly, and you might get over the ideological equivalent of a pick-me complex. Or you could walk into the end of this political cul de sac forever like a broken Skyrim NPC I guess, that's cool too.

everyone talks about how horrible Stalin was for the gulags and the famines but no one mentions he was checked into gulags three times in his youth and must've thought it was so good he wanted to share the experience
