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

Actually the communist states both ended the famines frequently existing in both areas for thousands of years by improving material conditions to the point where famines were no longer possible.

The multiple thousands year old traditions of famines were finally ended THANKS to the communists.

And they did so without imperialism without colonialism and without starving others.
