The last century saw almost a hundred million people starve to death. To
Rick Kelo though there's a very noticeable common theme that runs through those mass starvations.
Causes of the Soviet famine of 1932–33:
"The government's forced collectivization of agriculture, a part of the Soviet Union's first five-year plan, forced grain procurement and political repression in the countryside were the main reasons for the famine."

Causes of Great Chinese Famine / Great Leap Forward:
Chief changes in the lives of rural Chinese included the incremental introduction of mandatory agricultural collectivization.

"It is very easy for us to forget the lessons we learned just in the last century," says
Rick Kelo. Socialism was the central theme that ran through the worst starvations, including in India, which was Socialist for much of the 20th century and also ranked near the top of the World Hunger Index for most of those years.
