This is a ridiculous analogy. The circumstances of the Jews in Germany was
one of deliberate genocide. The kulaks attacked the revolution, and the
stories that compare their fate to that of European Jewry were concoted by
Ukranian fasicists and recirculated by their English and American fascist
counterparts.

What is your experience with Vieques? Please explain. I've been there
twice. Not that one has to have been there to legitimize a political
position with regard to neo-colonialism. But you seem to put a high
premium on having been there. So what is this special insight you have?

"Rather than seeking comparabilities in statistical terms among what are
all too often superficial features of different situations, comparabilities
must be sought at the level of determinate mechanisms, at the level of
processes that are generally hidden from easy view."
