Pretty sure the answer is "the brits".
Cats cant pronounce that tough, so it has to count all of those in a socialist's name.
In other news have you seen the latest royal wedding? So beautiful and glamorous, makes me feel blessed to have monarchs ruling over us!
Hey, i hate the british too, but the article doesn't directly blame the british for the famines and it also includes famines that took place in non-british held or administrated territories.
Nevertheless, it does point out that in many cases, british administration worsened the situation.

To be fair... They were only practising for how they'd treat modern Britain.
In fairness we've been around a lot longer, but it is impressive how one little island nation has managed to fuck so much shit up from afar.
I think that Queen Victoria would rank pretty in the body count scoreboard
This is a good one 😂
I've used this joke IRL with our cats. There's another one for dogs:
A guy and a dog walk into a bar. The bartender says, "hey, you can't bring a dog in here."
The guy says, "this is no ordinary dog. He's a talking dog."
Bartender says, "yeah? Prove it." The guy turns to the dog and says, "What's on top of the building?" And the dog says "Roof! Roof!"
Then the guy says, "How does a brick feel?" The dog says "Rough! Rough!"
The guy then says, "Who was the greatest ballplayer of all time?" The dog says "Ruth! Ruth!"
They are thrown out of the bar.
When they're out on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, "So, you think I should have said DiMaggio?"

I'm surprised you weren't with that joke. speaking from experience, i love my lame jokes. (and I'm not totally stealing this one...not at all.)
Lame jokes can be presented in a funny way. Delivery is important. My favorite method is "matter of fact" like I am telling a normal story about usual things. Catches the recipient off-guard and the joke lands much more betterer.
it all comes down to delivery and timing. and maybe a healthy amount of booze.
It’s the Ruth/DiMaggio dog joke from Looney Tunes.
I get the joke but I still expected some tankies to show up. But then again, OP is on lemmy.world which is defederated with the tankie instances so that's why
While it has proven difficult to accurately estimate the pre-colonial population and the amount by which it changed under the Congo Free State, estimates for the Congolese population decline during Leopold's rule range from 1 million to 15 million.
That's a lot, but not even close to Mao
Noobish kdr. Max 10 millions deaths, somewhere between a French general during WWI (not counting German casualties) and minor paranoid dictators. Too much time larping as a psychopathic torturer, not enough time getting the job done. Mao killed several million people on a good mood, that's professionalism.
Dictators and the rich
Ive never heard of anyone with that name
The question does not require a single name, it said who, which can be answered with a list of people or groups of people. Eg. Who did I make love to last night? A: Your parents!
It took way too long to get the dad joke here.
Trofim Lysenko Estimated body count 70 million
The vast majority of deaths under communism have been because of famine...
...which may well be true for Capitalism as well.
Mosquitoes, thanks to Malaria. Estimated kill count (according to a Nature article from 2002) 50-60 Billion people.
Is she in awe?
Thanos (ah fuck, we're being realistic)
I thought the cat turned into one of them (sorry to confirm Godwins law once again). http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigbest.pl
