Do you have a link to tankies denying there was an unwanted famine?
Holodomor was an unwanted famine that was redurected (food taken from farmers). Later wider famines were made worse mostly by Lysenkoism. A con-job which effected Russia and China.
Yet Communism is compared to Nazi? That's what's ridiculous liberal/right propaganda.
What happened is much more forgivable (although still regrettable) than what say the millions killed by the East India companies through intentional famines under Capitalism (done for profit), or the hundreds of millions in war dead from Capitalism in the past 30 years.
That's much more recent, but some redirected famine from the 1930s keeps coming up when talk of Socialism makes wealthy liberals a little too uncomfortable.
What is an "unwanted famine"? Nobody wanted a famine. Lysenko was wrong, and the government backed him because they didn't know he was wrong. It was a mistake, not a deliberate strategem to harm people.
Exactly.
The British Empire has caused at least two deliberate famines that I can recall off the top of my head - the one in Ireland, and the one in India.
That's ... maybe not quite the flex you think it is.
If its nit quite thr flex that they think it is please explain how ? (you wont be able to but please go right on ahead 🍿🤭)
Ill just say now that your argument is that Slavic people and Chinese people are not allowed to be dumb once in a while so good lucck arguing that seeing as how they are humans. Go ahead. The floor is yours ....
