It's something that's always bothered me as a hardcore anarcho-liberal. These "revolutionaries" get into power then the first things they do is starve their own people out?
Who killed more people? Stalin or Mao?

Actually China post-civil-war wasn't vulnerable to famines until Mao enacted his incompetent polices.
Still, the Great Leap Forward is more proof that Mao was an incompetent idiot, not an evil tyrant.

Isn't it true that Deng was minister of Agriculture or a minister of agriculture during this time? Not saying that Mao had no blame but it all seems a little simplistic, especially since a lot of real power was still in the hands of the "new democracy" crowd who wanted revolution against imperialism and maybe landlords, but not capitalism.

Even if those numbers are true, capitalism and capitalist systems have killed way way more people. The only reason people get away with saying "communism killed more people than capitalism" is because in the capitalist system, the deaths from poverty, war, and so on, cannot be blames on a single body of people because it is the big business owners who are starving workers to death and extracting wealth from the people.
I'm not saying that the deaths in the USSR can be excused but it should be widely accepted that capitalism is the bigger killer.

A person starving under socialism is called a victim of socialism. A person starving under capitalism is called lazy or inferior.
Yes. And Nestle is actively evil:
