I think an essential key for the world to start recognizing this would be for the NY Times to return Walter Duranty’s Pulitzer and say “W’re sorry that Duranty duped us and our readers”.

But I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Has the NYT ever conceded that this actually happened? I imagine Putin and the MSM will remain in denial.

We tried communism in the US in the 1930’s under FDR.

Now we call it “the Great Depression.”

I don’t think it was just targeted at the Ukranians. People were starved all over the place, even Stalin’s native Georgia was not spared.

It was the extermination of a “class.” The supposed “Kulaks.” Any landed peasants who resisted forced collectivization were to be starved to death.

"Communism: This time, we'll get it right!"

"Our individual salvation depends on collective salvation.

Our collective service can shape the destiny of this generation." ~~Barack Obama

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." ~~Karl Marx

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed." ~~Michelle Obama, 2008

She sounds just like Mao's wife Jiang Qing, leader of the "Gang of Four."

In the preface of “Harvest of Sorrow” by Robert Conquest, he states that for each LETTER in his book, 20 died in the collectivization famine. The book is 440 some pages long.

Putin and his KGB past can’t stand to see the truth aired.
Too bad.
