Why would you recommend your instance to a Zionist?

Yes, the 1940s WW2 famine, a whole 10 years later

You don’t know what you’re talking about and it shows. The famine you’re referring to happened in 1931-1933, not WW2. By the late 1930s, agriculture in the USSR was collectivized almost wholly and producing better crop yields than ever in history in the region due to the rapid industrialization and usage of tractors and fertilizers.

This rapid industrialization (main reason why the Soviets pushed for rapid collectivization in the late 20s and early 30s) was driven by the geopolitical need to create a heavy industry + military machinery to fight Nazism. If it had not been for the rapid industrialization (which admittedly led to around 5 million deaths in 1930-1934 from hunger), the Soviet Union would have fallen to Nazism and tens of millions more would have been exterminated, remember that the Nazi Generalplan Ost was the extermination of the non Germans between Berlin and the Urals.

From the article, western sources claim some 15k people affected over the entirety of the Soviet Union. So yeah, something that did happen, but still quite a minor thing for a country with 300 million people over 70+ years of existence.

For comparison, over 700k people experience homelessness today in the USA, which is arguably at least as damaging to mental (let alone physical health), and if we count the number of people who have experienced homelessness over the past 70 years in the USA it’s several million if not tens of millions.

The Soviet Union at its height

“Its height” is a very soft way of saying “during the Nazi invasion that ended up in the death of 25 million Soviet citizens”

These were hard labor camps, too

False. The GULAG system was simply a prison system. Soviets believed in work as a manner of reintegration into society, correctional labor is not hard labor camp. The vast majority of prisons were near big cities like Moscow or Leningrad.

where millions worked until they died

As far as I know, the number of Gulag deaths is about 700k, not “millions”, but I’m quoting this from memory so feel free to correct me with actual data if you have it. It’s easily disproven that Gulags were labor death camps by looking at the death rate over time:

You can see a peak death rate during the famine occasioned by the Nazi invasion (again in a period where 25 million Soviet citizens died). People died of hunger inside and outside prisons, albeit logically at a higher rate inside them.

The Chinese Liberal Democratic Party referred to in the thumbnail seems to be a western organization, likely US-based, platforming anti-China propaganda without taking into account the desires of Chinese people.

What’s this source? And how did you find it OP?

Agreed, there is no democracy in Estonia.

You defend american terrorism, which murders millions of people yearly. Go throw your body to the meatgrinder in Vietnam or whatever your empire is doing right now.

The sources to your Wikipedia article:

Transparency International. From the article: “Members in the chat group included chief prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol as well as the head of TI Brazil. The chat group included posts on a “backstage campaign” to “disarm resistance on the left”, fund selected candidates, and target others, seen as adversaries, using social media. Plans extended to preparing a series of false accusations (“denúncias sem materialidade”) intended to damage the reputation of former president and potential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva”.

This is exactly what I mean by Freedom Eagle Burger Institute: western institutions with political motives fabricating false information in order to punish leaders in anti-imperialist countries.

So investment on agriculture for local consumption also rises GDP, and your first comment is a non sequitur?

Great to see you trivializing with the lives of millions, very humane.

The government of Venezuela is trying to serve it’s people? One of the most corrupt governments in the world?

Source: Eagle Freedom Burger institute. The US is literally bombing civilians off the coasts of Venezuela, and your main concern with the country is "corruption, as measured by whom exactly. I hate American exceptionalism.

This is your brain on American exceptionalism

GDP doesn’t imply export though? I don’t follow the non sequitur.

Damming rivers with runoffs into salt plains and salt desert, funneling water into agriculture for gdp, and making enemies in every direction was probably a really bad move, ngl

Yeah, how dare they seek food security without imports in the face of international embargo.

So, not talking about Iran in particular in a post about Iran, just handwaving about “the region”, shows how much you understand the politics of Iran.

What happened to Iran isn’t an isolated incident a few decades ago. The fact is that as soon as a government tries to rule itself to serve its people instead of western capitalists, it gets couped at best and bombed and invaded at worst. We’re seeing it today with Venezuela. The constant threat of invasion, coup and bombing is what makes these governments more repressive than they would be otherwise.

Iran literally got couped in 1953 after democratically electing a progressive, secular government. The country’s oil exports literally got MILITARILY BLOCKED by the British navy, and the USA sponsored mafias to carry out terror attacks and make it seem like it was communists who did it.

But go ahead, remain ignorant.

So, Iranian people deserve to die because they’re Muslims? Is that your point?

Maybe if the USA and the British hadn’t couped Iran’s democratically elected secular government in 1953 and reinstated the Shah they wouldn’t be in such conditions

Spewing Israhelli propaganda, I see.

Maybe if Iran hadn’t been couped by the USA and Britain for attempting to make its own decisions with its oil, they’d be in a much better position, but alas, we’ll never know what would have been if the Shah hadn’t been reinstated by the west.

Least racist westerner. Do you also routinely wish hell upon Polish people for being, on average, vehemently Catholic and conservative?
