> Communism has also had famine

The most enormous understatement. They had the biggest famines ever seen.

> The only thing that really seems to end famine, is a deliberate policy of subsidising the overproduction of food.

That's nonsense. There is no money that can "subsidize" anything if people are already starving because the country screwed up the agricultural system. Starvation is more powerful than monetary systems.
