Are we all going to stand by and do nothing because this is mass murder by socialism?
Socialism is a crime against humanity and, as we can see here, can rise to the level of mass murder. This is not a new invention. Mass murder of targeted populations by starvation has happened before.
Actually, I think it's also about avoiding accountability. The media don't want people to remember the howl they made about Ian Smith's Rhodesia, their call for Carter's sanctions, and the resulting destruction of pluralism via Mr. Mugabe's treatment of Joshua Nkomo.
