I tell you what I'll quote my post highlight the bits I believe your selective vision has missed and then you can tell me about the bits you don't understand.
To remove from society either by death, internal banishment or other means. The choice of method wasn't too critical however there were many thousands who were killed.
The Famine Inquiry Commission (1945) documents a large number of administrative, civil policy and military policy failures. Significantly, no other famine-struck country has published such criticisms of its own government’s actions. The failure to set up a food administration in 1939 and prepare for rationing was the key failure. The failure to enforce an India-wide food policy with an equality of sacrifice was another. Without this, the administrative controls must prevent any meaningful intervention. Political and administrative failures to set up a system for seizing surplus food in surplus areas also contributed (it was acceptable in deficit areas). There were many others which added to local shortages or otherwise increased the death rate, (e.g. Boat Denial Policy, Rice Denial Policy, various purchasing policies) but were not causes of the famine. During the Famine Inquiry Commission's investigation, one official stated that 'We felt difficulty about one thing. That was lack of one co-ordinating authority at the time of famine'[64]
churchill was a racist but the Battle of the atlantic was raging at the time and while the food could have been got to india getting it too bengal was probematical at best. Like most famines their was plenty of food in the country but in the wrong place unlike the Nazis this was a massive cock up amd when Wavell used the military the problem was solved
I didn't say that the working class had nothing to do with it, I said that we have and had no say in state policy.
Because obviously a mass deportation carried out by communists is a wonderful adventure holiday

Solemn promise of a pioneer of the Soviet Union
I (surname, given name), having now joined the ranks of the All-Union Pioneer Organization "Vladimir Illich Lenin", in front of my comrades solemnly promise: to passionately love my fatherland, to live, study, and fight as bequeathed by the Great Lenin, as the Communist Party teaches, and always carry out the laws of the Pioneers of the Soviet Union.

Pledge of Allegiance
"In the presence of this blood banner which represents our Führer, I swear to devote all my energies and my strength to the savior of our country, Adolf Hitler. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him, so help me God."
There's nothing selective in my vision, you said that the intent of the Nazi death camps and the Gulag was the same you even quoted your own post saying this. And as Dairy Queen and Seventh Bullet have pointed out that is, at best, a stupid ignorant ahistorical generalisation. The intent behind the two was very different and to simply pretend that it wasn't trivialises such an issue.
3/10 go back and read it again!
I.e they weren't identical
again similar does not equal identical
The intents weren't similar, the intent of Treblinka, Sobibor, etc was the systematic industrialised murder of human beings. That was something completely different from the intent of the Gulag, or other concentration camps, and to not distinguish between the two is not just wrong and stupid it's actually offensive.
