You have to read the above before making any more edits or comments to CP articles about China. The Communists '''confiscated''' food from the peasants; that is what caused the famines, more than any misguided policies. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:59, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

:The article you link to uses the word "confiscate" exactly once, in regard to LAND confiscation, and its concluding paragraph states "[t]he famine was caused by the shortfall in food production but this was a result of the bad policies and centralization of power in the central government." In fact, the article you link to broadly supports the contention that poor economic policies resulted in famine.
:What lesson, exactly, should be taken from that article before further edits are made? [[User:Aziraphale|Aziraphale]] 15:52, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
