I have no idea how the Holodomor is germane to this discussion.
The observation being made, I believe, is that the most prominent examples in the 20th century of mass death due to famine were caused by economic and political systems very far from the Austrian school economics. There’s a longish list of mass starvation due to Communist governments.
Is there an example of Austrian economists giving advice that led to a major famine, or that would have led to famine? I cannot offhand think of an example of anybody advocating “letting millions of people starve because the precious Market might be upset.”
