You literally blamed the famine on the Nazis in your previous comment!
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 Famine was caused by the soviets policy changes decentralizing aggriculture in the assumption that farmers would still grow enough for everyone.
We know that this is true because the Chinese tried the same damn thing and got the same damn results during their own revolution.
I’ve had a Tankie write me a 10 page essay comment, with citations, about how great the 1930s economy was. The middle of a famine.
I already responded to HCF’s claims.
How about
“The History of the Gulag: From Collectivization to the Great Terror

Translated by Vadim A. Staklo”
https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt5vkt98
Or
The Encyclopedia Britannica
https://www.britannica.com/place/Gulag
The book estimates 4,000,000 in gulag after the great purge in addition to another 2,000,000 additional corrective labor programs equaling 6,000,000 total, while the enyclopedia estimates 5,000,000 total. The 1939 USSR population historical data was 170,557,093.
It’s because some parts of Lemmy are actually just psyops for Russia and China, just like all those facebook groups during the 2016 elections and all those foreign maga influencers outed during a recent leak.
Estimates of the Gulag Population and other corrective labor programs, from the book
“The History of the Gulag: From Collectivization to the Great Terror
Oleg V. Khlevniuk
Translated by Vadim A. Staklo”
Are about 6,000,000 total.
Encyclopedia Britannica estimates a much more conservative 5,000,000.
USA population in 2022 was about 333,287,557
Yeah it actually got better even before Stalin died, but yeah.
I think that’s far less common among the left than the saying “peer reviewed study shows conservatism highly correlates with mental disorder”.
Quite, I fully intend to have civil and reasonable fact based discussions about the USSR which will not trail off into tribalistic whataboutist tirades.
The Soviet Union at its height had the largest percentage of incarcerated individuals, more than double the USA’s percentage of the population today. These were hard labor camps, too, where millions worked until they died.
Ah yeah, right next to the lead onload. Although the SmallDisturbedChild does not have the word onload in it.
I wonder if that was an autogenerated station name or if it was intentional.
GDP measures consumption, government spending, and exports minus imports.
Even the worst CPUs do billions of calculations per second, and 1M SPM has been done before in vanilla so it’s more easily achieved in Modded assuming you can harvest enough ore to run it.
One of these days I want to make a million sci per minute factory, help would be merely a bonus on that journey. Just not enough time for it.
I’m not sure I understand but only 5 joined the server before it went down.
GDP means Gross Domestic Product which means they were EXPORTING THE FOOD and actually a huge amount of spices such as Safron. You could argue that they are just really really really bad at math but the result is the same, incompetence leading to drought.
Depends on the if the moon is obscured by clouds and how strong the winds are.
So far it was just a one off, we’ll see.
I don’t consider the USSR or CCP to be far left or really any form of left. They’re just red fascists.
