HEADLINE: Watch This Movie With Your Teens by John Zmirak
* The Soviet government under Stalin pillaged Ukraine, stealing the private farms of productive peasants and forcing them into miserable, termite colony-modeled collective farms. Then the Party seized all the grain they’d raised in that immensely productive region, and sold it to fund Stalin’s project of building massive factories.
* Stalin knew that Russia was ill-suited for Marxism (as Marx himself had scoffed). The proletarian revolution was supposed to happen in an industrialized society, not an agrarian one. This according to the simplistic, paint-by-numbers scheme which Marx used to analyze the whole history of the human race, and also predict its future.
* BRIAN K - "You can't dialogue with people that killed 63 million babies"
