Lets calculate victims of capitalist catastrophe in the US.US population increase:1920～1930: +17M1930～1940: +9M1940～1950: +19M1950～1960: 28M1930~1940 shuld b 18M increase. 9M mustve starved or died abnormally during Great Depression. Same way China famine calculated.— Boots Riley (@BootsRiley) April 20, 2023
Fucking baaaaaaased. How the hell was he ever allowed to make a Hollywood movie???
I think you just haven't made a serious effort to look for academic investigation. There are vast, vast amounts of records and literature for the entire Great Depression and New Deal period. The US had relatively few deaths from outright starvation bc it's an enormous country with vast agricultural resources, and because Roosevelt came in to power in 33 and stayed in office until 45, instituting the "New Deal" policies
The "New Deal" included an enormous array of employment programs, subsidies for farms and industry, and relief programs to distribute food and other necessaries. The low rate of recorded deaths is largely because the US leveraged it's vast resources and infrastructure, combined it with a lot of direct federal oversight, and became a sort of weak centrally planned socialist economy for a decade. And to no one's surprise socialism works.
Keep in mind that the USA had vastly more industrial machinery than the USSR in the same period. I'm struggling to find credible numbers but it looks like in 1930 the USSR produced about 50k tractors, and had only recently opened most of it's tractor plants, while the USA produced like 200-250k, most from long established plants that had been producing for a decade or more.
