Yep, The humanitarianism of Socialism.

 

Holocaust by hunger: The truth behind Stalin's Great Famine

By Simon Sebag Montefiore
UPDATED: 19:50 EST, 25 July 2008

The demented Roman Emperor Caligula once mused that if all the people of Rome had one neck he would cut it just to be rid of his troublesome people.

The trouble was there were simply too many Romans to kill them all.

Many centuries later, the brutal Soviet dictator Josef Stalin reflected that he would have liked to deport the entire Ukrainian nation, but 20 million were too many to move even for him.

So he found another solution: starvation.

Now, 75 years after one of the great forgotten crimes of modern times, Stalin's man-made famine of 1932/3, the former Soviet republic of Ukraine is asking the world to classify it as a genocide.

The Ukrainians call it the Holodomor - the Hunger.

Wow. Is that drastic! Socialism really has some humanitarian characteristics. And it isn't all free for nothing...you have to earn it there just like you do here.

I see nothing humanitarian with taking one man's wages and giving them to another.
