Although famines or near famines were common in many Communist countries, you have images like this. Collective farms don't work. Remember how hard it was to get along with your two, three or four college roommates, then multiply it by several hundreds. When people don't have a personal, private stake in what they produce, they slack off or start to steal. Although such basic psychology should be self-evident, you have morons who insist forced collectivism will somehow work the next time, but such morons have never run a business. After Communism collapsed in Albania, hundreds of Communist public sculptures were damaged by enraged citizens, with some even storming into the National Museum to attack the paintings.
