Comment on The Billionaires have spent a fortune making sure you hate Socialism.
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 day agoLet me copy and paste my previous answer, bolding for new emphasis:
The majority of socialist states emerged from semi-feudal societies, and they factually made dramatic improvements. The 1930s Soviet famine proves my point, the early 1930s was the last famine in the USSR outside of wartime, becuse by 1933 they had successfully collectivized agriculture and abolished the former Kulak system. The famine wasn’t caused by socialism, it was ended by it.

The fact millions died by famine proves my point that the USSR was great in terms of famine.

When famine was common and regular due to feudal relations for centuries, and within a couple decades the Soviets eradicated famine forever, then yes, they were great.

Some (millions) of you might die, but that a price im willing to pay!

No? Socialism didn’t cause the famine. Famine was not a “price,” it was a historically recurring symptom of underdeveloped feudal agriculture that the soviets abolished as soon as they could.
