Part 3, Deliberate Withholding and Narcissism
Part 3, Deliberate Withholding and Narcissism; Hungerhauser and Holodomor, Ukraine Between Two Malignant Narcissists In WW2 and the Deliberate Withholding of Aid In parallel to the similarities between Stalin and Hitler, both Stalin and Hitler engaged in the act of starvation for political control, though for different motives with some exceptions.

Punishment of the Most Fertile Regions into Submission
Holodomor was meant to cause the kulaks or independent farmer cooperatives comprised of self-governing peasants and poorer peasants who worked with them to not only stop the complaining which Stalin couldn't handle any of (you were 'as good as dead to him if you complained, see Part 2) but to also make the kulaks submit to higher production quotas that ironically collapsed and starved more people than if he hadn't (land stripping tendencies in the narcissist's poor analyticity and proclivity to overestimate).
The kulaks, as inherently and arguably very anarchist in collective, threatened his power highs (see Part 2 of this series) by not staying within his power and being ruralized and cooperatives in style.
It should be noted that rural cooperatives have, statistically, much lower rates of narcissism than urban agricultural collectives. Stalin was trying to move these rural kulaks deeper into the cities where big industry would kill of their traditions and take away the power of the wealthy peasants who ran them to push against him.
By making the already abundant and fertile kulaks industrial, he hoped to dehumanize the workers using the nature of industry itself to make them more susceptible to communist propaganda. Since he couldn't convince them, starving them into submission was his only method.
"The Holodomor was a genocide against Ukrainian people; although the famine affected other parts of the Soviet Union, Stalin and his government deliberately withheld food and aid from Ukraine and punished those who tried to seek help."
Death by Deliberate Dehydration and Starvation: Silent Echoes of the Hungerhiiuser John M. Dolan, Ph.D.

Hitler was not better. Hungerhauser was the starvation and dehydration of the disabled, insane, and mentally deficient. It should be noted that it is more than likely a few dissidents perfectly sound of mind were heaped into this who did not have the strength of body to prevent their institutionalization.
This is essentially an equivalent movement to try to force Hitler's Germany in Social Darwinism and productionism (aka, you are only as good as what you're working for), resulting in hypercapitalism. Ironically, productionism and using starvation to force it into place is exactly what both sides starved, tortured, and dehydrated people for.
It should also be noted that Hitler considered himself to "have finished what Christ started". Christ died of Phoenician crucifixion, which means he starved and dehydrated to death on the cross due to being considered mad and a dissenter, with dissent the more fundamental issue. The irony could not be more stark.
" It is not difficult to see how, religious scruples apart, a policy of easing such persons out of the world by a completely painless method could appeal to a hard-pressed and unsentimental people. ...If one is convinced that a person should be put out of the way because, from no fault of his own, he has ceased to be a social asset, it is not hard to satisfy the conscience that those who are willful enemies of the prevailing social order have no better right to exist. And so Hadamar drifted from a hospital to a slaughterhouse.53 The silent echoes of the Hungerhauser can now be heard here. There are a number of gravestones on which we can read the names of defenseless and incompetent persons who never refused food or water but who, nonetheless, died slow deaths of thirst and starvation; these gravestones stand in states from Massachusetts to California; they con- tain such names as: Paul Brophy, Ella Bathurst, Nancy Ellen Jobes, Anna Hirth, Marcia Gray, Nancy Cruzan, and others."
This shows how productionism and its friend, benevolent euthanasia for those who are not productionist, leads to the murder of the dissenter. Thus capitalism and communism when merely productionist are equal in atrocity.
Americans also had a moment of struggling with the horror of starving and dehydration as "painless" to rationalize productionist eugenics, showing this atrocity is also a feature lurking insidiously also inside of capitalism as we know it in America;
"It emerged that there are three things a number of our American medical people advocate and practice that Dr. Admiraal thinks are dead wrong. The assembled physicians and bioethicists found this particularly in- furiating. The... points of contention:
"1. Some Americans advocate (and practice) euthanasia by means of withholding nourishment, but Dr. Admiraal found this a cruel and unacceptable method of killing people. Admiraal said: "You're doing the same thing I am; you're just playing games with words when you describe what you're doing."
- Some Americans advocate (and practice) euthanasia in the case of incompetent persons, but Dr. Admiraal found this morally unacceptable, insisting that he would never kill a patient who was not both lucid and requesting euthanasia."
Murder from withholding is defined as murder as such in this piece, and includes not only food but things like aid, information and other elements that are required for help. Therefore, murder by willful omission is not considering "letting die", but it is considered murder.
" (1) A deliberate omission that causes death is legally an act of intentional killing when three conditions are satisfied: (i) it is within the agent's power to supply what is being withheld; (ii) the agent has an obligation to supply it; and (iii) the agent understands that withholding what is needed is likely to cause death."
For example, on the application to Covid-19, a dissenter states,
" Those who prevented the use of a medication for political reasons that would of saved lives should be held accountable. The deliberate withholding of aid is criminal and negligent if not outright murder."
Therefore deliberate omission should be seen for what it is; a newer, less recognized technique of murder. Those responsible should be tried as the murderers they are.
