Downvoted out of instinct when I saw a holodomor until I read the meme. This is the first time I've ever seen it mentioned, not claiming some obscene conspiracy theory.

There is also the popular: "The smart and hard working farmers were rich, so they were killed by the commies, and only the lazy and stupid ones were left. Since they were lazy and didn't know how to work, food production was lower and that created the famine!"

It reads so much like a crappy fairytale that I can't understand how people believe in that

I assume these are some random internet takes and not actual points that being made academically or with any authority? I recall a recent thread where people were confusing post WW2 famine in the USSR with the Holodomor, which parallels a bit with what's up here.
