Also the Dust Bowl, which makes some pretty neat comparisons to annoy capitalist bootlickers with happening at the same time as the Soviet famines in the 1930s

I was gonna say that too, but wasn't sure of the cause of it. I seem to recall from my high quality American public education ™️ learning it was natural, but that was a long time ago, and all I actually remember now is Of Mice and Men. Some might say my skull is like a glove. And my brain is like petroleum jelly that an odd man soaks his hand in to keep it soft. Something something rabbits.

It was natural to some degree, but capitalist farming practices were definitely to blame.
