What do you think about the police?

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?

Once again the statistical system had nothing to do with Communism. So this whole little rant is pointless....

Any realistic communist society relies on a working statistical system. That's how you would accomplish equal distribution of food. How else would you do that? Such a failure of a statistical system is not only unlikely to happen in a capitalist society (as capitalist societies usually value free speech), but it also would not have such disasterous consequences in it (as capitalism does not rely on a statistical system to work).

In all seriousness though, this conversation is getting ridiculous. I mean, the Irish Potato Famine was caused by British government issuing racist laws preventing Catholics from owning more than a small amount of land, so Catholics cultivated what they could profitably cultivate on a small amount of land: potato. So, because of those racist laws, Ireland was dependent on potato for food. When a disease came that killed all potato, the British government forced Ireland to massively export the little food they had. And you are blaming capitalism (the lack of government intervention in the economy) for the famine. Come on now!
