What do you think about the police?

China's flawed statistical system had nothing to do with communism

Of course, but the flawed statistical system would not have such disasterous results in a free market system. The flawed statistical system only had such disasterous results because the communist government tried to accomplish equal distribution of grain, by stealing grain from the people on villages who supposedly had a lot of grain. In a free market system, the people on villages would be allowed to keep some of the grain they had, so they would not have starved. How do you manage to miss the point completely like that?

Capitalism has caused plenty of famines

What mechanism are you proposing for capitalism to cause famines?

I’ll do this one. When the Irish potato crop was destroyed by blight in 1845, the country was absolutely bursting with other foodstuffs. However, due to the absentee-landlord farming system, that extra food was shipped out of Ireland (often under arms), so the owners of the farms wouldn’t lose profits.

Capitalism - raw, naked, government-supported capitalism - caused more than a million deaths of Irish men, women and children due to starvation and disease. Couple with mass out-migration, the population of Ireland dropped by 25% in just five years.
