This is just Marxist Leninist propaganda because Marxist Leninist Communist states have lots of victims which weren’t nazis, landlords, kulaks, capitalists etc. Showing victims of famines here when its pretty much historical consensus that communist state action played a significant role in many devastating famines is even more insidious.
Virtually ever modern famine was caused by a state. Frankly, I think famines can be avoided fairly easily under any economic system in modern times, thanks to technological improvements. All it takes is not deliberately and violently creating conditions of deprivation.
I think it’s fairly obvious. If we stop states from depriving people of food then there won’t be many famines. The color of paint on the tanks isn’t relevant, just that they’re crushing people under them.

Example of this: Pretty decent video about the Holodomor and how Marxist Leninists are never able to acknowledge it by Badmouse
Edit: Interesting how different the response to this exact comment is in different communities.
You could make an argument MLs weren’t actually communist because of how they’re tying themselves to a state, but that just makes them even angrier

What purpose does that argument serve, though?

yea it’s not that good of a meme and makes it too easy for capitalists to counter
