I had a discussion with a leftist - again, this is true - and told them about the famines in the Soviet Union and Maoist China. Said they'd have to independently verify that famines happened in socialist countries because it sounded like I was pushing a specific agenda.
Well you can always chat with the entire other school of thought for socialists: “Yeah, what you’re laying out about genocide is accurate. It was a FAMINE. That is what a Famine means. Now use that methodology to analyze the societal context and motivations of any other famine that doesn’t rely on testimonials from Nazis as the core of its evidence.”
