Nobody.

It’s metaphorical.

The quote originated with Joe Stalin to justify mass murder.

I know it is Duncan....just trying to inject some humor into a dismal reality.

I better start reading up on Stalin...I think we’re all going to become way too familiar with his ideology.

Yes it was an omelette and it may have been Stalin who said it in the Holodomor context. But if so Walter Duranty failed to mention it in one of his infamous dispatches to the NYT:

But---to put it brutally---you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, and the Bolshevist leaders are just as indifferent to the casualties that may be involved in their drive toward socializaton as any General during the World War who ordered a costly attack in order to show his superiors that he and his division possessed the proper soldierly spirit. In fact, the Bolsheviki are more indifferent because they are animated by fanatical conviction.
