    “While scholars are in consensus that the cause of the famine was man-made, whether the Holodomor constitutes a genocide remains in dispute.” (Wikipedia)

    While you did say the above, I just wanted to put emphasis on the “man-made” part. Unfortunately, tankies say stupid shit regarding this (not saying that u’r a tankie) which is what made me emphasize this even further.

    Also, the USSR rejected any foreign aid (see the Wiki source I have cited). So yeah… The USSR was solely responsible for the millions that perished in the famine.

    Also, just a disclaimer- I am an anarchist/libertarian socialist. I do not defend famines caused by capitalism.

      I’m a confused American (didn’t really see the spoon part very well), I Googled, I saw this same meme being discussed on r*ddit. Ripped the comment explaining minus a video link.

      Not my words, I didn’t even read it all tbh, just thought this guy seems to know what he’s talking about. ¯\(°_o)/¯
