Yep according to them every hunger related death under a communist government is communists fault but the many famines under capitalism don't count against their favorite system.
I wonder if it would be fairer to count all of them from both sides or have some more selective metric, though that cab be pretty hard to create
You might be getting closer with that, but this still doesn't account for the deaths caused by the fallout of decisions under feudal or capitalist systems before switching to communism that took years to repair or deaths caused by imperialist meddling (sanctions, wars, coups).
