I link to wikipedia because it's on the web and thus easily available. There are hundreds of books documenting the atrocities committed by communists. I would suggest you read some of them, as I have.

Also the anit-intellectual atmosphere in China is pretty well documented so I'm not sure what you're talking about it not being an honest desription

Lastly, you're really going to compare pre-industrial famines to ones in the modern agricultural era? Is it just a coincidence that the famines happened in an unparalleled scale in communist countries compared to the Capitalist ones that somehow managed to avoid them?
