Both communism and capitalism led to famine. I.e the great leap forward

The famine during the great leap forward wasn’t due to communism though? It was due to China being a backward country thanks to the century of humiliation (caused by capitalism) leading to lacking the necessary technical knowledge (there’s a reason it was the last famine China ever had).

The thing is, if you take control of an area known to have regular famines, and then another famine happens under your control, and then never again… You have in fact ended the famines

Communism led to the elimination of famine in areas where famine was historically common.
