Posters of Stalin and Karl Marx gaze down at prisoners inside of their sleeping quarters at a gulag in the USSR in 1936. In the early 1930s, a severe famine swept across regions in the Soviet Union and six to seven million people starved to death. Until 1934, lack of food and outbreak had started destabilizing the gulag system. It wasn't until the famine ended that the system was stabilized
WNU Editor: The above picture reminds me of what my father told me once on how it was like living through the Ukraine famine of 1932-1933. Everyone in his school was hungry, but everyday they all had to sing praise to the Stalin/Marx/Lenin posters in their classrooms, and they all had to thank Stalin for giving them food. The above picture is from this photo-gallery ....

Isn't it the same in North Korea now? Not enough food, people with parasites, poisoned etc... do you think if the West tries to help them, would they turn against us and see us as evil-empire people, or would they side with us in freeing them (under the condition, of course, that we leave as soon as there's a government that represents all north koreans in place?)
Stalin started to destroy 80% of the party of the Revolution with purges and all the opposition.
And Churchill has caused the same famine to India, with millions of deaths, in order to win the World War II.
The British Empire in general, was very brutal for many of their colonies.
History lectured by the winners, as usual. But maybe I live longer to see another lecture.
