Comparing Trump to Stalin is funny, actually, because no matter the mistakes and errors Stalin made over his decades as the leader of the soviet union, he was never a genocidal imperialist.
Wait, what? The USSR wasn’t an empire? The Holodomor wasn’t a genocide?
The USSR wasn’t an empire, no, and the 1930s famine was a tragedy, but wasn’t intentional nor inflicted.
The USSR was a socialist federation. It wasn’t dominated by finance capital and late stage capitalism, and as such did not share the same drive capitalist countries have to export capital and plunder internationally. The USSR had no colonies nor neocolonies.
As for the 1930s famine, it was caused by a combination of factors, including adverse weather conditions, and bourgeois farmers called “kulaks” burning their crops and killing their livestock as protest against collectivization. There was no intention to cause a famine, nor to steer an existing famine, and as such it was a tragedy but not a genocide.
