A famine that wasn’t caused by the ideology directly, but by picking the wrong guy to run agriculture. It wasn’t communism that caused the famine, it was Trofim Lysenko’s unscientific ideology; Lysenkoism.
…plus Authoritarian Communism shouldn’t count, amd the death tolls of Capitalism, Colonialism, and The Catholic Church have all been higher in total.
