Oh wow, all bourgeois press or capitalist state affiliated media. I'm sure they have no bias that influences their portrayal of communist china.
What a childish response. So the famine didn't occur because it's documented on Wikipedia?
The reasons for the famine are well understood and documented. I don't think defending Mao is the way to go in regards to our modern housing crisis.
The housing market issue is also well understood and documented. We know companies and investors have been buying more and more houses, driving up prices. We know wages have not kept pace with rising housing costs. We know the gap between rich and poor has been widening year after year. Why the fuck are we derailing the conversation?
First off, I'm not denying the famine happened, aim just denying Wikipedia's framing. The death counts are exaggerated and many were connected to devastation caused by the Civil War.
Second off, I am not advocating we do mid 20th century agriculture practices and kill the sparrows after doing land reform.
