>Six peasants of Bouzuluk District posing with the remains of humans they had eaten. It was the first artificial famine caused by the Bolsheviks' policy (of confiscating grain from peasants in order to provide army and industry ("prodrazviorstka")). Eleven years later there was the second one, caused by so called "collectivization".
>In some of the regions, affected by the same Civil War, but which were not under systemic control of Bolsheviks and thus not under policy of "prodrazviorstka' (Ukraine, North Caucasus, Central Asia, Siberia and Far East), there were a lot of hardships, but no famine.

The government had the food seized from those people. There was flooding, yes, but it was mostly the government seizing the food for war effort. Only after The NEP was introduced in 1921 by Lenin that ended grain seizures from peasants. And only in 1922 the famine dialled down.

The irish brought it upon themselves for relying too much on a single crop.
The indians also brought it upon themselves because ghandi refused food aid shipments because he didn't like Churchill
On the other hand, the 1921 famine was caused by the Bolshevik party selling confiscated crop abroad in order to get western equipment and technologies regardless of the hunger of soviet people.
This is why they groomed Nazis at early stages (they wanted Nazis to get in war with Europe and then to "free"/occupy Europe themselves). This one was partially successful after WW2

Also, kulak is simply put a village capitalist. He came to ownership of other peasant's lands usually through means of usury of grain and money, making other landless peasants work for them for cheap. Since the middle of XIX century pettit bourg peasant class started to divide between kulaks (capitalists), batraks (proletariat) and srednyaks (pettit porkies, who still owned their land and worked on them).

They were just as much the cause of hunger is say 1891-92 as they were for hunger in USSR, not because they were especially bad people but because they were capitalists and they looked for profit.

Thats because that was the reality at the time. It was either street urchin gang war life, or a life where they could actually produce money and get paid so they could get off the streets.

Easy, there was not alot of food to go around. Let me ask you something, what would happen to the people who are starving in the cities if there was a famine? They rely on the farmers in the countryside to make them their food but because there was a famine there wasn't enough food for both the city and country and so in order to keep their society from collapsing they had to militarize the collection of grain.

How would capitalism solve a famine? They too have to farm and distribute. During a famine only the most wealthy could afford the inflated prices of food due to scarcity during a famine. So basically I'm going to say this, the famine sucked but sacrifices had to be made in order to keep society going, if not then the Soviets would've quickly collapsed into another civil war that would've gotten "rid of" the "extra weight" and mouths to feed, so instead of starvation, guns would've been what ended their lives.

Literally nobody in the west from Germany to the whole of Western Europe, even the US didn't care to give their surplus food to Russia, so on top of isolation they had a bad situation to deal with. This isn't a question of socialism vs capitalism but rather a shitty situation that was unavoidable unless if other countries brought relief.
