How can you call a place in arctic permafrost regions where people were simply unloaded behind barbed wire in the middle of nowhere and left without proper clothes and food. Did Russkies have industrialized arctic there? There isn't a single prison in the world in the history where prisoners are without food, water, and clothes as long as the country itself was doing reasonably fine. Nazis Germany for example clothed, fed, and gave their Jewish prisoners water. If they wanted to kill the Jewish they didnt starve them, they killed them. Those starving Jewish pictures were taken during an era where the Germans were low on supply. Soviet Union wasn't low on supply. Nazis had death camps but even there the Jewish still had food, water, and clothes, Soviet Union didn't have any death camps. Those dead bodies of Jewish without clothes was because the Jewish took their clothes off before entering the gas chambers. Certainly the Jewish suffered from frost bite and I'm sure the prisoners in gulag camps also suffered from such, but they certainly had food, water, and clothes. You probably are talking about the struggle between the Kulaks which are the 10 million rich peasants in Soviet Union who didnt like Stalin. That was a struggle between 10 million peasants who resisted agriculture collectivization vs 110 million peasants who supported Stalin and his collectivization. In the case of the counter-revolutionaries, it is also necessary to consider the crimes of which they were accused. Let us give two examples to show the importance of this question: the first is the kulaks sentenced at the beginning of the 1930s, and the second is the conspirators and counter-revolutionaries convicted in 1936-38. According to the research reports insofar as they deal with the kulaks, the rich peasants, there were 381,000 families, i.e., about 1.8 million people sent into exile. A small number of these people were sentenced to serve terms in labour camps or colonies. But what gave rise to these punishments? The rich Russian peasant, the kulak, had subjected poor peasants for hundreds of years to boundless oppression and unbridled exploitation. Of the 120 million peasants in 1927, the 10 million kulaks lived in luxury while the remaining 110 million lived in poverty. Before the revolution they had lived in the most abject poverty. The wealth of the kulaks was based on the badly-paid labour of the poor peasants. When the poor peasants began to join together in collective farms, the main source of kulak wealth disappeared. But the kulaks did not give up. They tried to restore exploitation by use of famine. Groups of armed kulaks attacked collective farms, killed poor peasants and party workers, set fire to the fields and killed working animals. By provoking starvation among poor peasants, the kulaks were trying to secure the perpetuation of poverty and their own positions of power. The events which ensued were not those expected by these murderers. This time the poor peasants had the support of the revolution and proved to be stronger than the kulaks, who were defeated, imprisoned and sent into exile or sentenced to terms in labour camps. Of the 10 million kulaks, 1.8 million were exiled or convicted. There may have been injustices perpetrated in the course of this massive class struggle in the Soviet countryside, a struggle involving 120 million people. But can we blame the poor and the oppressed, in their struggle for a life worth living, in their struggle to ensure their children would not be starving illiterates, for not being sufficiently `civilised' or showing enough `mercy' in their courts? Can one point the finger at people who for hundreds of years had no access to the advances made by civilisation for not being civilised? And tell us, when was the kulak exploiter civilised or merciful in his dealings with poor peasants during the years and years of endless exploitation. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17837699 those workers were the ones executing capitalists under Stalin's orders. Why would stalin execute his largest supporters? Communism is SPECIFICALLY designed to appeal to the worker's class and is where communists draw their power, why be so absurd and think that communists would betray their comrades. Not even Hitler randomly killed people. Use your own sense and logic rather than using secondary sources. Perhaps Some evidence that Stalin killed because people were out past curfew would be nice, but not even capitalist sources that I have read have claimed something so absurd as this video above implies. The commies would kill you for having smooth hand because that meant you were an intellectual and not a laborer. Commies murdered over 66,000,000 in Russia alone. Communism, like you, is pure evil. I've heard that "smooth hand over a rough hand". But the 66 million? Read some research on the subject. I'll give you a hint, the numbers of deaths and those attributable to Communism have been exaggerated and continue to be so.. based on Soviet archives.. Turning to executions and custodial deaths in the entire Stalin period, we know that, between 1934 and 1953, 1,053,829 persons died in the camps of the GULAG. We have data to the effect that some 86,582 people perished in prisons between 1939 and 1951. (We do not yet know exactly how many died in labor colonies.) We also know that, between 1930 and 1952-1953, 786,098 “counter-revolutionaries” were executed (or, according to another source, more than 775,866 persons “on cases of the police” and for “political crimes”). Finally, we know that, from 1932 through 1940, 389,521 peasants died in places of “kulak” resettlement. Adding these figures together would produce a total of a little more than 2.3 million, but this can in no way be taken as an exact number. First of all, there is a possible overlap between the numbers given for GULAG camp deaths and “political” executions as well as between the latter and other victims of the 1937-1938 mass purges and perhaps also other categories falling under police jurisdiction. Double-counting would deflate the 2.3 million figure. On the other hand, the 2.3 million does not include several suspected categories of death in custody. It does not include, for example, deaths among deportees during and after the war as well as among categories of exiles other than “kulaks.” Still, we have some reason to believe that the new numbers for GULAG and prison deaths, executions as well as deaths in peasant exile, are likely to bring us within a much narrower range of error than the estimates proposed by the majority of authors who have written on the subject. Even the highest estimate conceived by Olga Shatunovskaia puts it at under 20 million, and the authors with their new evidence totally discredit that. Your figure is pure sensational nonsense... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28763511 Mexico 12/04/2012 02:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Debate in the West about the precise numbers of victims has appeared in the scholarly press for several years and has been characterized by wide disparity, often of several millions, between high and low estimates. Using census and other data, scholars have put forward conflicting computations of birth, mortality, and arrests in order to calculate levels of famine deaths due to agricultural collectivization (1932-1933), victims of the Great Terror (1936-1939), and total “unnatural” population loss in the Stalin period. Anton Antonov-Ovseenko, Robert Conquest, Steven Rosefielde, and others have posited relatively high estimates (see Table 1). On the other hand, Stephen Wheatcroft and others working from the same sources have put forth lower totals. Both “high” and “low” estimators have bemoaned the lack of solid archival evidence and have claimed that should such materials become available, they would confirm the author’s projection. T Now, for the first time, Soviet secret police documents are available that permit us to narrow sharply the range of estimates of victims of the Great Purges. These materials are from the archival records of the Secretariat of GULAG, the Main Camp Administration of the NKVD/MVD (the USSR Ministry of the Interior). They were housed in the formerly “special” (that is, closed) sections of the Central State Archive of the October Revolution of the USSR (TsGAOR), which is now part of the newly organized State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF). A few Moscow scholars (among them V. N. Zemskov) had access to some of them in the past but were not allowed to cite them properly. Now, according to the liberalized access regulations in Russian archives, scholars are able to consult these documents and to publish exact citations. |

Those who believe Obama is a Communist are complete fools. How is the USA in anyway related to Communism? There is no free education, no free health care, no free dental, and so on. People have to starve themselves to pay their debt back for their education cost. If you don't have money to buy medication you are left to die. If you have no money to fix your teeth you are left toothless. What kind of 'freedom' is this you fools? And how does any of this relate to Communism? Tell me, how in the hell is the USA showing itself to being related to Communism? |

EMPerror User ID: 8804293 Lithuania 12/04/2012 02:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: EMPerror That is interesting thought. How did millions of people appear in cattle trains at night? What kind of jurispurdence managed constantly to solve more than 20000 cases in one area throughout one night (from arrest until all were loaded to the trains going straight to the death camps)? It honestly sounds like you are confusing the Nazis with communists. The qulags were labor camps, not death camps, VERY little amount of people died in qulags when penicillin was fully implemented in Soviet Union. LACK of medicine was the PRIMARY cause of death in gulags. Millions of people in Europe and America died due to the Spanish flu, yet NO ONE would accuse those countries of killing their civilians! Yet a variety of causes of deaths in Soviet Union was intentionally labeled to be due to communism. You're really troubled. How can you call a place in arctic permafrost regions where people were simply unloaded behind barbed wire in the middle of nowhere and left without proper clothes and food. Did Russkies have industrialized arctic there? There isn't a single prison in the world in the history where prisoners are without food, water, and clothes as long as the country itself was doing reasonably fine. Nazis Germany for example clothed, fed, and gave their Jewish prisoners water. If they wanted to kill the Jewish they didnt starve them, they killed them. Those starving Jewish pictures were taken during an era where the Germans were low on supply. Soviet Union wasn't low on supply. Nazis had death camps but even there the Jewish still had food, water, and clothes, Soviet Union didn't have any death camps. Those dead bodies of Jewish without clothes was because the Jewish took their clothes off before entering the gas chambers. Certainly the Jewish suffered from frost bite and I'm sure the prisoners in gulag camps also suffered from such, but they certainly had food, water, and clothes. You probably are talking about the struggle between the Kulaks which are the 10 million rich peasants in Soviet Union who didnt like Stalin. That was a struggle between 10 million peasants who resisted agriculture collectivization vs 110 million peasants who supported Stalin and his collectivization. In the case of the counter-revolutionaries, it is also necessary to consider the crimes of which they were accused. Let us give two examples to show the importance of this question: the first is the kulaks sentenced at the beginning of the 1930s, and the second is the conspirators and counter-revolutionaries convicted in 1936-38. According to the research reports insofar as they deal with the kulaks, the rich peasants, there were 381,000 families, i.e., about 1.8 million people sent into exile. A small number of these people were sentenced to serve terms in labour camps or colonies. But what gave rise to these punishments? The rich Russian peasant, the kulak, had subjected poor peasants for hundreds of years to boundless oppression and unbridled exploitation. Of the 120 million peasants in 1927, the 10 million kulaks lived in luxury while the remaining 110 million lived in poverty. Before the revolution they had lived in the most abject poverty. The wealth of the kulaks was based on the badly-paid labour of the poor peasants. When the poor peasants began to join together in collective farms, the main source of kulak wealth disappeared. But the kulaks did not give up. They tried to restore exploitation by use of famine. Groups of armed kulaks attacked collective farms, killed poor peasants and party workers, set fire to the fields and killed working animals. By provoking starvation among poor peasants, the kulaks were trying to secure the perpetuation of poverty and their own positions of power. The events which ensued were not those expected by these murderers. This time the poor peasants had the support of the revolution and proved to be stronger than the kulaks, who were defeated, imprisoned and sent into exile or sentenced to terms in labour camps. Of the 10 million kulaks, 1.8 million were exiled or convicted. There may have been injustices perpetrated in the course of this massive class struggle in the Soviet countryside, a struggle involving 120 million people. But can we blame the poor and the oppressed, in their struggle for a life worth living, in their struggle to ensure their children would not be starving illiterates, for not being sufficiently `civilised' or showing enough `mercy' in their courts? Can one point the finger at people who for hundreds of years had no access to the advances made by civilisation for not being civilised? And tell us, when was the kulak exploiter civilised or merciful in his dealings with poor peasants during the years and years of endless exploitation. I'm talking about genocide of people that previously did not have hunger. It did happen wherever Communists came. There are some documents about these events Let's take Lithuania 1941-04-14 and 1941-04-16 Communist party issued orders to perform genocide (extermination) in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, West Ukraine, West Belarus and Moldova. [link to www.archyvai.lt] [link to www.archyvai.lt] 1941-05-12 Commissar issues numbers of people to be exterminated [link to www.archyvai.lt] 1941-06-05 More detailed numbers are sent [link to www.archyvai.lt] 1941-06-14 3:00 and 2:00 at night, arrests of families houses are robbed. That's document about plundered possessions (all money, gold, silver, weapons, literature, including watches and rings) and families that escaped. Old people, ill ones, kids and pregnant women were forced to squeeze into vehicles. [link to www.archyvai.lt] 1941-06-16 The same scenario repeats. Numbers of arrested until 12:00 are in documents [link to www.archyvai.lt] There were no courts. There is a lot more. |
