Oh and while you're at it why don't you read about Trotsky and a bunch of his other critics while you're at it. And the Red Army Massacre, and the deportations. The fact that you don't even know about the famines and the fact that Stalin basically withheld the grain reserves that could have averted it because of his own paranoid delusions about the Ukrainian government basically withholding grainstock pretty much gives away that you have no fucking clue what you're talking about, amongst everything else.

"Copping out" is something the religious do on just about everything, if you think about it.
Well of course. If I were to tell you the sky was green (which obviously isn't true) you'd be able to quickly disprove me for many reasons, at which point I'd have no other option than to act personally offended and hit you with a sweeping, all-encompassing statement.
But of course you probably know that.
