How many global soviel block deaths of malnourishments did you tally up for old boy Stalin? Do we calculate relative or absolute numbers? Do the deaths of malnutrishion of nominally socialists states today also count as being capitalisms fault?

There was no death due to starvation in socialist countries except at times of famine. I know hard to grasp living in capitalist world but that’s the truth

Shall we examine the reasons for these famines?

The policies directly caused the famines.

Did you read my comment? I explicitly mentioned “except famines”.
Those wer ploicy failures with reason in nd beyond human control. But both of hose socialist nations never saw nother famine again and those nations used to have frequent famine before they became socialist. Both of those nations ensured no food shortage for anyone.
Meanwhile currently weve got 6 to 9 million pwople dying evey year due to hunger despite us producing more than enough food to feed another 3 billion people - all that foos goes to waste because feeding the hungry doesnt generate profit.

Oh you said except famines. Then yes, except the famines, the political progroms, the deportations, holding their population hostage, the failing econoics all was well.
