"We didn't grow enough food and whitey didn't rescue us fast enough" is juuust a bit different from the Holodomor.

You know what capitalism hasn't done? Failed a state or turned it into a complete dictatorship. Name one, successful communist/socialist state. China? LOL! North Korea? LMAO! Cubo? Por favor!

As ever, the stock response is "but that's not real Communism/Socialism." And they can never quite define what the real thing is in a way doesn't make it clear that it's mostly about them, personally, not having to ever lift a finger or pay for anything for the rest of their lives.
