The Holodomor was a genocide.

the question is not "why is the holodomor bad," the question is "why is the awfulness of the holodomor not comparable to historical famines in capitalist countries that killed millions." the answer is, of course, that they are comparable. late victorian holocausts and all that

here's a neat thing I was shown today from some weirdo named "engels"

— 24 —
How do communists differ from socialists?
The so-called socialists are divided into three categories.



[ Reactionary Socialists: ]
The first category consists of adherents of a feudal and patriarchal society which has already been destroyed, and is still daily being destroyed, by big industry and world trade and their creation, bourgeois society. This category concludes, from the evils of existing society, that feudal and patriarchal society must be restored because it was free of such evils. In one way or another, all their proposals are directed to this end.

This category of reactionary socialists, for all their seeming partisanship and their scalding tears for the misery of the proletariat, is nevertheless energetically opposed by the communists for the following reasons:

(i) It strives for something which is entirely impossible.

(ii) It seeks to establish the rule of the aristocracy, the guildmasters, the small producers, and their retinue of absolute or feudal monarchs, officials, soldiers, and priests – a society which was, to be sure, free of the evils of present-day society but which brought it at least as many evils without even offering to the oppressed workers the prospect of liberation through a communist revolution.

(iii) As soon as the proletariat becomes revolutionary and communist, these reactionary socialists show their true colors by immediately making common cause with the bourgeoisie against the proletarians.

of course, this outlines why greenwald is wrong, since people like carlson and bannon in no way oppose big industry and bourgeois society. there are certainly pro-imperialism socialists out there today, who can claim a legacy stretching all the way back to the second international, ("socialist" is a verrry broad label) but open reactionaries like carlson fail to clear even that low bar

I will not pretend to be well-read on this or any subject, but the last line of that quote is literally

so um, yeah, they don't oppose bourgeois society, that's why they're reactionary socialists, that's what it says right there

man, you said yourself that "'socialist' is a verrry broad label." being a reactionary and being a socialist simultaneously is extremely possible. there's a reason phrases like "social fascism" have been coined. I choose to parse the sentence "...rule of the aristocracy, the guildmasters, the small producers..." as what the words in it obviously mean, eg. the type of poo poo carlson says about how small businesses are being pushed out. I have no idea what greenwald thinks in his heart of hearts and I don't really care to, but it's a simple read to demonstrate the label is appropriate in a meaningful context. sorry.

so far as I can tell, either he and I have wildly different definitions of what "eagerness" means, or it's saying that consent is good but the speaker is too loving stupid to understand that he thinks it's good, or it's explicit "yeronner, she was askin' for it," and I'm not sure which is most unfortunate
