The goal of democrats is socialism
The goal of socialism is communism
The result of communism is hell.
While six million Ukrainians starved to death in 1932-33, Stalin employed a personal chef who prepared elaborate Georgian feasts in his private dining rooms. You need to understand what this tells you about the fundamental nature of state power and economic calculation.
Stalin maintained twenty dachas across the Soviet Union, each staffed with servants, stocked with rare wines, and equipped with private cinemas for his entertainment (this makes for a very interesting Google search). His security detail numbered in the thousands. His personal train car featured bulletproof glass and mahogany paneling. Meanwhile, peasants in Ukraine ate grass, bark, and leather belts before dying in the streets. Bureaucratic incompetence did not cause this. The iron logic of socialism produced it.
Central planners face no market prices to guide resource allocation. Without profit and loss signals, they cannot know what people actually need or value. So resources flow to political priorities instead of economic ones. Stalin's comfort took precedence over Ukrainian lives because political power, not consumer demand, determined production and distribution. The state controlled all grain, all transportation, all information. When you eliminate private property and market exchange, you eliminate the only mechanism that coordinates production with human needs.
Free market economists predicted this outcome decades before the Holodomor. Ludwig von Mises explained in 1920 that socialist economies cannot rationally allocate resources because they lack price signals from voluntary exchange. Without market prices, central planners operate blindly. They literally cannot know what to produce, how much to produce, or where to send it.
Every socialist experiment repeats this pattern: the political elite live in luxury while ordinary people suffer shortages, famines, and death. This outcome was inevitable the moment private property was abolished.
