A famine that wasn't caused by the ideology directly, but by picking the wrong guy to run agriculture. It wasn't communism that caused the famine, it was Trofim Lysenko's unscientific ideology; Lysenkoism.

It could in part be because Musk/Trump are expected to crater the US economy so they can buy stocks cheap, so lots of investors are making aure they have cash positions and liquid assets ready to do so.
