All famines under capitalism are a result of people failing to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, so they don't count as real famines. The famines that occurred every single week in every single socialist country forever (killing a million billion people each time, I might add) were deliberately done by evil authoritarian dictators. Why would they deliberately starve their own people? Because they were just so evil that they would kill off their population for no reason or benefit! It's just like a baddie in the movies!
