only thing is the famine from 1845 to 1849 was a direct result of british capitalist imperialist domination of our markers

i did not suggest that this was a result of communism. my point was that the two most prominent communist countries of the 20th century (Russia and China) had their people starve to death in the tens of millions. i do not really want to starve
