China made the same mistake during the Great Leap Forward. And they mostly killed a bunch of Chinese. Perhaps if we dig into it we’d find that particular subgroups died at greater rates and that may or may not just be a residual correlation with other factors. But I think that misses the big picture.
Nobody wanted millions to starve in either case. It doesn’t strike me as “the plan”. Once people start starving you’re going to end up with a bunch of patterns, but that doesn’t mean starvation was the goal.
