You think there have never been people who had to eat grass coz there was nothing else to eat - in the history of the world?????
I'm sorry, I read "eating grass" as an example of the kinds of things that people in famine situations do. Pardom me for not recognizing that you were being overly specific in the midst of a sweeping generalization.

I'm not defending communism. I'm pointing out that it doesn't matter what type of politician it is - he will do all that he can to keep power. And politicians of all types have led their countries into famine or killed off a significant portion of the populace.

P.S. Number 5. Socialism = communism = Totalitarianism
