    Preferably you actually would use the same countries and times, if you could. I’m not sure how you think comparisons usually work lol. You’d try to keep the comparison as similar as possible.

    I’m sorry but I feel like you’re trying to arrive at a certain conclusion rather than doing an honest comparison.

      Limiting by time period and a crude summation of deaths is a dishonest framing for any discussion regarding how one political system may be more the catalyst for famine than another. It is basic correlation vs causation. By all means make a cognizant argument that shows how these limits can promote a fair comparison of the political factors that influence a countries descent into famine. I would like to hear something from you that amounts to more than some article of capitalist (bad) faith. I feel that you will struggle to do so because you are not interested in making an earnest effort to understand famine just in weaponising contrived stats.
