  • Famines are never going to be pretty, right?
    I have seen pictures online of the Bengal and Mangalore famines that India suffered under British rule.

    My doubt on it is how much of it is natural and how much is intentional.
    What do those historians say about that?

    I have seen people arguing and discussing about it online, with everything ranging from intentional punishment to bureaucratic inefficiency to feudal farmlords burning their produce and animals during the famine to how famines were common in the region until the 1950’s and also mentions of grain export

    Also, which part of India, if you don’t mind?

    Southern India
    Are you Indian too? Which part?


  • Overall positive.

    I’ve heard that he supported the development of India. As an Indian, positive view here.

    After joining lemmy, seeing arguments about him, got to know that he faced personal losses too, with his son, a soldier in the WW2, dying in a Nazi concentration camp as a PoW.

    Have read that there were purges of officials and repression in fear of Nazi and other spies and that excesses did happen under his govt.
    But considering how they were able to reduce poverty and were able to industrialise their nation, making them able to fight the Nazis, I see them overall positively.

    Have heard about the famine too. But not sure if it was purposeful like how Churchill took away foodgrains from Bengal. So negative view on it, but not sure how to see it. Whether it is intentional or natural cause or inefficiency.

    How do you feel about Hitler?


















  • Not a Chinese person, and I don’t really know much about their style, but if random guesses are ok:

    It may have been turned off, due to the risk that politically motivated actors may use it to print out something and then use it for propaganda, saying that a Chinese AI has exposed the CPC n all?

    Especially since the U S is a trade war with them and there has been usage of genocide propaganda* against them?
    * - Considering that the same people have no similar level of concern about Gaza

    I think you should ask in some Chinese community. If not, maybe most of the answers would be similar to mine, guesses, which will mostly be our views rather than the fact whether the average Chinese person has info on their leaders.


  • Thank you

    I’m from Kerala, India. We do have communist parties here. The Left front govt, with very significant communist party presence was elected into power here.

    Searching for their content on youtube, I see that they do discuss the theoretical aspects. I think the parties here are focused more on the praxis aspect and only teach the Marxist ideology to party members and not supporters or people in associated orgs. The local elders in my area seeg

    Internet searches are tricky, since non-English content is relatively less indexed/recommended. Have found some websites of theirs tho, like Chintha.in
    If you know any resources related to Kerala/India, please do share them
