When I drove across Europe from the UK to the Eifel region of Germany, I kept wondering what was so important about the town of Ausfahrt as I was seeing signs for it everywhere.
It means 'exit' and is on every off road to things like motorways. 🤦

Nathaniel P. Hill left his family and job as a chemistry professor at Brown University to work for the Colorado Territory’s former governor. The result was nothing short of a revolutionary boost to the fledgling Colorado mining industry and the rerouting of his and his family’s fortunes. Hill's Gold by Ellen Kingman Fisher is "most educational and enjoyable."

This is false, as presented with the photo.
Under Soviet Communism, a devastating famine that took place in the Ukraine region of the Soviet Union, was recognized in the Ukrainian parliament as a deliberate act of genocide against the country’s people. The artificially introduced food shortage created under Stalin.

How is that being intentional makes it not fault of socialism?
That's like saying the holocaust is not to blame on Nazism, but in Hitler.
Jesse
in reply to pinguino • • •@pinguino @clintruin @SimpleRobC The holocaust was part of the ideology of Nazism. Starving people isn't part of the ideology of Socialism.
Capitalism has starvation as part of its ideology (if you can't work you starve, often even working isn't enough to avoid starving) and it's only avoided through socialist policies.
It's not Socialism when people call themselves socialists (the Nazis called themselves socialists), it only Socialism when people actually do Socialism.

Huh. And here I thought 'socialism' meant socialized healthcare, unemployment insurance, regulated auto insurance and a plethora of societal safety nets...
silly me.
