Oh Lord. I just finished a book about Mao’s Great Leap Forward that resulted in 20,000,000 - 40,000,000+ deaths from starvation within two years.

Too bad our schools teach garbage. The kids don’t know.

Stalin's collectivation of the farms resulted in about 20,000,000 deaths too. USSR's population was about 20% of that of China. So by comparison, a much larger percent of Ruskies died of starvation than the chinese.
