Nazbol was right again baby
Julian Bell
Who the fuck wrote this? This is inane, even from a purely academic viewpoint — every line can be taken apart for the nonsense and/or lie that it is. I assumed the author was some kind of no-name blogger or a Victims of Communism Foundation shill, but she actually won a fucking Pullitzer back in 2004.

Last week some leftcom on r/socialism quoted Applebaum at me all the time. Some ultras really need to learn to not fall into this "left" anti-communist trap.
I mean, it's the same bitch that shilled for NATO expansion right towards the Russian border.
Camden Gutierrez
Were they citing her book on the Gulag? Does that refute it?

This man is considered one of the leading minds of Soviet history.

Her newest book about the Holodomor, "Red Famine", where she argues that Stalin wanted to purposely starve out the Ukrainians but oddly enough none of the quotes in the book actually prove that, it's just proof of some regional mismanagement.
Things like that keep being published and it allowed anti-communists to just refer to these books as evidence/argument, it's extremly tedious. Recently debated someone on the Holodomor IRL (not that I particulary want to, but people can't argue about communism without the 100 gorillion) and his only argument was that the Holodomor was accepted as a genocide by many countries, therefore, I'd be equal to a Holocaust denier to argue against it.

Anne Applebaum is the worst. She’s probably the most popular writer on the Russian Revolution and the USSR in general as well.
Ian Williams
Oh, another one of those "please don't do bolshevism wink wink it's really radical totally against capitalism DON'T DO IT lmaooo" articles to distract the workers from the genuine enemies of Capital and State.
