How To Cause Mass Starvation in a Democracy in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: People demand free shit and refuse to pay for it with higher taxes. The riot if the government cuts spending or raises taxes, meaning that the only way the government can avoid riots is to fool the people into thinking they're getting something for nothing, thus they create central banks to cause inflation to get people to unknowingly pay for the spending they demand via inflation.

Step 2: As the inflation works its way through the economy, people complain about the price of basic neccisities like food becomming too expensive and demand the government set price controls on such items. Th effect of these price controls is to set the price below that which the markets would otherwise bear, and the result is shortages ... lots and lots of shortages.

Step 3: There is no more food as producers cannot earn a living by producing it anymore. This leads to one of two outcomes: Either the people are left to starve and fend for themselves (The Venezuela Model), or the people are enslaved by their governmnet and FORCED to work on state-owned farms (as well as other neccisary industries) for free or else be shot to death by the dictator who takes charge (in the name of the people of course).
