Amartya Sen puts this famine in a global context, arguing that lack of democracy is the major culprit: "Indeed, no substantial famine has ever occurred in a democratic country—no matter how poor." He adds that it is "hard to imagine that anything like this could have happened in a country that goes to the polls regularly and that has an independent press. During that terrible calamity the government faced no pressure from newspapers, which were controlled, and none from opposition parties, which were absent."[43]

On the other hand, Sen points out that in India the numbers of "excess mortality" regularly surpass those of China during 1958–1961

Yes, Juche is Communist

Fuggin right *wrongers* amirite?

Because it's not Capitalist if a Socialist country does it. Failing to see the irony of such a sad post only shows how narrow minded you are.

Juche is a fake term designed as an excuse to cover up the corruption a communistic system creates

No u

Xd

Yes, because a lack of state and a lack of class structure inevitably breed state-corruption. Are you fuckin brain dead?

Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished in this farming area, known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the people deprived of the food they had grown with their own hands.

Too many chromies, not enough homies?

The creation of such a society would need government intervention on a fucking Big scale

That's the argument

And bigger government creates corruption you moron

Yes, because a lack of class structure and state lead to inevitable state corruption.

The lack of social class need to be enforced by the governement. Social distinction arises naturally in a society or in nature.
