Joseph Stalin murdered millions farm families, owners of small- and medium-sized farms, called
kulaks. They were killed by forced starvation, imposed by the Soviet military. This was done because the farmers thought communism was ridiculous and refused to go along with it, laughing openly at the ideological brigades that were dispatched to teach them the good news about the universal march to the glorious socialist future.
My personal belief is that this is what Ayers and his evil and intercoursed-up followers were after. This is what turned them on.
Thank G-d and Scalia for Heller v. Washington
