    I bet as they were being placed in to orphanages or starving with their mums they were thinking well this is very unfair we’re not the “bourgeoisie”

    No, they didn’t know what ‘bourgeoisie’ meant because, and I can’t stress this enough, THEY WERE CHILDREN. They didn’t do anything to deserve that.

    Jesus, why are you tarring children with the “crimes” of their parents?

        What are you even talking about? I’m not a tankie and you’re the one using the actions of the USSR to say that children are bourgeois and don’t deserve to be fed, which, I don’t know, sounds kind of like something a tankie would say.

            Yet again- Children are not bourgeois. And I put the word crimes in quotation marks. Do you really not know what it means when people do that? Do I really have to clarify that to you? Are you that illiterate?

            And yes, we are having a discussion about the past. A discussion you implied would justify not feeding children. You have yet to do that.

              I know. Neither were their parents. The people in charge thought they were, which I think was my point.

              My lesson form history is what happens when you start labelling people in to groups and then treating them very badly based on group identity.

              I started taking about this because you said children can’t be bourgeois, which I agree with, but that didn’t ultimately matter . Which is my “lesson from history”.

              We are taking about this because you wanted an example of what happened to bourgeois children who at least the children of the bourgeoisie, which is a lesson from history.

              Hearing we have a caution retail about treating people badly based on group identity. Do you agree that is a useful lesson from history?

                What does that have to do with feeding children? Did you forget what this post was about or something?
