@Confidant6198 most incarcerated???? You mean excluding countries with numbers undisclosed or altered or killed like China or North Korea

I hate it when China and North Korea kill numbers. Like I'm just trying to count stuff here and you're telling me that 9 is dead?

Famines had been commonplace occurrences in feudal China and Russia, which the communist states brought an end to. And those final famines occurred under post-war conditions, and under disastrous crop seasons that affected neighboring states as well.

@davel pick up your history book. The famine under mao Zhedong was because of stupidity. He killed all birds that ate all crop eating insects. The famine under Stalin in Ukraine for example was just pure evil. They took the crops from Ukraine to export them not leaving enough to feed the population causing a massive starvation.
