okay, you want links to prove that capitalist famines in africa outnumber communist famines in the whole world over the same time period:
Wikipedia article on "famine", section "africa"
i'll just summarize from that one section:
and if those few, i know i'm leaving so much information out, aren't enough it is the explicit policy of the IMF and world bank to make countries dependent on food imports.
and that's just a brief summary from the broadest overview (often minimized with language that suggests these are somehow the fault of the victims) page on shitty ol' wikipedia. imagine what a real survey of the history from primary sources would turn up!
