Russia had something like 5 major famines that killed ~40 million people in the 19th century, but no one talks about "tsarist food shortages" that stopped under communism.
Like the past thousand years of Chinese history has included a yearly provincial-level famine, but Mao is uniquely evil for causing the last famine by trying to break that cycle.
As I understand it the famines in China didn't get really bad until the British got them hooked on opium and drug lords started having it grown instead of food.
The most important thing Mao did for China was get rid of the warlords
Which is ironic, because excepting the one immediately after WWII, the only Russian food shortages in living memory were the direct result of capitalism.
Lol communism no food, I say as my family and I huddle in our almost empty coal rolling Chevy silver-A-do'h waiting in line to go to a church-ran food ration distribution center with hundreds of other families on the 10-lane super-highway in the dark because the power grid went down because it's snowed in Texas and our anarcho-capitalist government thought it was government overreach to put regulations onto power-producers to weather-proof their facilities after the last time this happened.
At least we got God and freedom :freedom-and-democracy:
ubiquitous anticommunist bullshit. I hate how it's everywhere soaked into everything like liberal filth

I'd say his policies succeeded in breaking the cycle :mao-wave:
