The Holodomor | Marxist Leninist Myths 2

Part two of the Marxist-Leninist Myths series. A look into the flawed narratives within Marxist-Leninist justifications. Popular portrayals of the Holodomor famine present it as an intentional genocide, despite much of the historiography concluding otherwise. ML lines have a lot of play by numbers responses to the common mainstream narratives, many of which go far beyond simply showcasing unintentionality and dive straight into historical negation. One source in particular, Fraud, Famine, and Fascism has almost become the Year Zero of modern Holodomor apologia. 1.

Recalcitrance was also treated as a criterion for defining a kulak, and so (they) were also subject to repression” “In the second dekulakisation drive, ‘kulaks’ could therefore be found only by making the definition of ‘kulak’ even less precise. ‘Kulak and well-to-do (zazhitochnye)’ were often treated as a single category, and the ‘well-to-do’ subjected to the same penalties as kulaks. It was further claimed that peasants should still be classified as kulaks even though they could no longer engage in the exploitative activities of the past.” Davies and Wheatcroft, Years of Hunger. P 21-24 “Who, precisely, was a kulak—an owner of three cows? Four cows? Criteria could be murky. But centrally imposed quotas forced answers. Naming “kulaks” often involved preemptively denouncing others to save oneself or settling old scores.” Kotkin, Waiting for Hitler P. 114 4.
