Holodomor?
During the 1932 Holodomor Famine, the USSR sent aid to affected regions in an attempt to alleviate the famine. According to Mark Tauger in his article, The 1932 Harvest and the Famine of 1933:
While the leadership did not stop exports, they did try to alleviate the famine. A 25 February 1933 Central Committee decree allotted seed loans of 320,000 tons to Ukraine and 240,000 tons to the northern Caucasus. Seed loans were also made to the Lower Volga and may have been made to other regions as well. Kul'chyts'kyy cites Ukrainian party archives showing that total aid to Ukraine by April 1933 actually exceeded 560,000 tons, including more than 80,000 tons of food
Some bring up massive grain exports during the famine to show that the Soviet Union exported food while Ukraine starved. This is fallacious for a number of reasons, but most importantly of all the amount of aid that was sent to Ukraine alone actually exceeded the amount that was exported at the time.
Aid to Ukraine alone was 60 percent greater than the amount exported during the same period. Total aid to famine regions was more than double exports for the first half of 1933.
According to Tauger, the reason why more aid was not provided was because of the low harvest
It appears to have been another consequence of the low 1932 harvest that more aid was not provided: After the low 1931, 1934, and 1936 harvests procured grain was transferred back to peasants at the expense of exports.
Tauger is not a communist, and ultimately this specific article takes the view that the low harvest was caused by collectivization (he factors in the natural causes of the famine in later articles, based on how he completely neglects to mention weather in this article at all its clear that his position shifted over the years). However, its interesting to see that the Soviets really did try to alleviate the famine as best as they could.

Also, don't know if you were aware, but famines were common in tsarist Russia and were one of the major factors driving the revolution. So, then one last famine happens before the new system is fully established, and all you trolls point at it as if it's evidence that the system doesn't work. Seems like it's more relevant that there were no famines in USSR going forward and people ate more nutritious food than Americans.
I lost just as many of my grandparents and great grandparents generations of my family to the soviet gulags as to the nazi concentration camps. My family used to be huge, everybody had 5 to 10 siblings. Very few survived.
And communism didn't end in Poland till 1989, and nobody who lived through that had anything nice to say about it as it was corrupt as hell.
yeah communism in Poland was so bad that I've got roof over my head and my entire family got an education

What was their jobs 🤔
Do you also want the job titles, religions and nationalities of the bunch who died in the nazi camps? Would you like to see all my papers too?
I mean how else can you truely know if my kin deserved to die and be written off as collateral damage by tankies such as yourself? Hell, maybe I do too. Who knows with you lot.

No, just what lead up to them being in the gulags.
I feel like if they were normal jobs you could just say what they were.
They were normal fucking jobs, none of them were nazi collaborators. Most were rural people with farms, the lot in the cities were clerks and fucking shop keepers.
Go on, ask about skin colour and religion next. Ask if any were disabled, gay, out spoken, etc. I mean, there's got to be a justifiable reason your heros would have all those gulags, right?

lmfao they were kulaks who owned serfs

Yes, he was parked in a bunker surrounded by communists and killed himself just because his brain sucked I guess
Lmao, so is this not the communism you were talking about then?
Your fantasies around these political ideologies are just as fucking stupid as the far rights'.
Victims of capitalism tend to die from malicious or callous actions. Victims of communism, if you want to call it that, tend to just die because of incompetent leaders than anything else.
Why did you describe capitalism twice?
Communism isn't magic. Humans are still in charge.
Read communist leaders rather than accept whatever a school book that whitewashes colonialism and ignores Churchill's genocide in Bengal tells you. You may disagree with them but you'll notice most of them were fairly literate and understood dialectical materialism.
