: : They got plenty of starvation with Stalin, planned too.

: So? So what? If it was a natural famine etc. you wouldn't careless so why now that's your political opponents?

Im not sure what you mean there. If you are saying that I 'care' more for a starvation that is deliberately planned by an autocratic govt then yes I do. Such a starvation is murder. A starvation that happens because we have a dry summer because the sunspots are doing this and the pacific ocean is doing that then it isnt murder - and whats more its easier to freely help out such people.

: I could indicate any of the many, many famines, hardships etc. created by capitalism and capitalist planning it wouldnt serve to further my argument so dont try to further yours by insisting these sorts are socialists.

Actually I'd like to hear an example - it would further your argument, a statement such as 'capitalism causes starvation' needs evidence.
