What are common arguments that you see the left make, that, while you don't disagree with them, you think are badly made and unconvincing?

Weren’t those also the last famines in those countries?

This is honestly one of the best arguments. No surprise the underdeveloped, under-industrialized countries had famines. The fact is that socialism ended the pattern of famines.

Not really. The USSR had its last famine in the 1950’s

You’re right, the 46/47 was the last one. I remembered wrong.
