On this day in 1929, Josef Stalin announced his intention to exterminate private farmers across the Soviet Union. Unlike Hitler, who hinted around to his intention of murdering the Jews, and gradually turned political prison camps into death camps without fanfare, Josef Stalin was quite open about his intent to murder his main enemy group, the private farmers all across the expanse of the USSR (though of course mostly living in Ukraine and the western portion of the country). These private farmers were known as the Kulaks, and his program of mass murder through a combination of starvation (How do you starve a farmer? Confiscate his entire harvest) and outright arrest and execution, was known as Dekulakization. And even then... even while Stalin was being quite open about his intention to wipe out an entire critical sector of the Soviet citizenry, western journalists and politicians continued to go through life with blinders on, refusing the acknowledge the demonic nature of communism. At what point did American Democrats complete the transformation from merely gullible fools to intentional tools of evil? Some would argue it was on this day in 1929. After dekulakization, it became utterly unforgivable to continue to support socialism. The inherent evil of statist rule was now completely undeniable. John F. Di Leo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekulakization
