Dennis Camp knew little of what would come by honoring a promise to his dying mother. He would find and forge a large, diverse, and well-found family. Old issues seem to have been resolved, yet others have found their way here in Prairie Moon: Sketches, the last book in the series. #mainstream #novella #Colorado #books amazon.com/Prairie-Moon-Sketch…

@pinguino 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.
@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.
Prior resident of socialism. Socialism is best explained by Soviet Vending machines. You could get five choices : kvas, water, tea, lemonade, and fruit drink. All with one single communal, machine rinsed glass for everyone. The notion that random people feed random children is fanciful twaddle. People in a closed community generally look out for themselves and take pity on anyone who needs it.
🇨🇦 🤔 Huh. And here I thought 'socialism' meant socialized healthcare, unemployment insurance, regulated auto insurance and a plethora of societal safety nets...

Cringe. Forehead slap .... another uneducated ignorant white dude proclaiming some sort of truth with no clue he has zero idea what he's talking about.
propaganda works. But it’s also true that the Soviet Union by the time Breznev came around was a hypercorrupt hierarchic kleptocracy. It was more Russian imperialism than socialism by the end of it, but the warning should be heeded. Soviet Union was NOT the way you should do socialism.
Public private partnership with exploitation of child labor.
Hidden part is that the kids first had the best candies for themselves, made some well hidden cache, delt the rest with the others, gave to those in need and the old dude gets what nobody else wanted.
It's supremely weird to me that so many people think socialism is about people voluntarily sharing, and not about the state stealing your earned labor product from you at gunpoint.
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. 🤦

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.
