This is just Marxist Leninist propaganda because Marxist Leninist Communist states have lots of victims which weren't nazis, landlords, kulaks, capitalists etc. Showing victims of famines here when its pretty much historical consensus that communist state action played a significant role in many devastating famines is even more insidious.

Example of this: Pretty decent video about the Holodomor and how Marxist Leninists are never able to acknowledge it by Badmouse

Edit: Interesting how different the response to this exact comment is in different communities.

    Virtually ever modern famine was caused by a state. Frankly, I think famines can be avoided fairly easily under any economic system in modern times, thanks to technological improvements. All it takes is not deliberately and violently creating conditions of deprivation.
