Is this supposed to be an example of propaganda? The line that socialism killed millions uses the unfair standard of attributing wide categories of end-of-life to socialism but not to capitalism or Tsarism.

There’s a bit of a difference in people dying of starvation vs obesity. Unless there is some kind of capitalist force feeding going on.

Especially when the year before the agricultural reforms there was minimal starvation.

Blaming specific events like starvation on Communism can be fair.
