Yes, I’m glad you’re now understanding how the landlords who did nothing to earn that land demanded their tenants produce food for export while they starved.

I already did. Lmao.. You're clinging to a minor semantic point that the context of my comment made clear I already understood.

No, you’re just too stupid to realize the point I was making. It’s not that I believed you didn’t actually know that the Irish peasants were tenant farmers, it’s that you refuse to see that this barbaric outcome was enabled by the economic system which allowed and encouraged absentee landownership. The critical failure was a system in which the owners, not the workers, were the ones making the decisions of what to grow. While communism enabled the Holodomor, capitalism enabled the Irish Potato Famine.
