They pushed for the creation of people’s communes during the great leap forward. Which directly contributed to the famine.
“The early 1950s saw the establishment of agricultural cooperatives, yet these changes brought mixed outcomes. However, the push towards rapid industrialization and the establishment of people’s communes in rural areas were central to the Great Leap Forward, reflecting the government’s belief that collectivization and large-scale projects would boost agricultural and industrial outputs. The communes were meant to centralize farming and labor, supposedly leading to increased efficiency and output; still, in reality, and practice, these measures often disrupted traditional farming practices and led to decreased productivity. Dali Yang stated, “The initial stages of collectivization brought chaos and inefficiency, with agricultural productivity often declining”.”
And since communes were meant to be a form of collectivization. The communes were infact communist

The fact you link Wikipedia to talk about how Wikipedia is reliable is genuinely amazing. “The CIA is so trustworthy they even told me themselves how they only use the best sources”/s. Entirely unserious person. Again the communes were not the issue communal farming works as shown by it working post famine the issue was the implementation of new farming techniques while lacking the necessary agronomic knowledge to effectively do so. This failing was then worsened by natural disaster and poor reporting tradition as the actual material driving factors of famine. Have you considered actually thinking before posting?
