    Things can have more than 1 cause. In this case they probably mean the effects of socialist policies disrupting something (supply chains) that would have otherwise worked smoothly. Not that hard to understand, even if you don’t agree.

      From the context, their posts about empty shelves were quite clearly trying to draw comparisons to the stereotype notion of food shortages in USSR and PRC.

      It’s unambiguous. Policies or causes were not even hinted at in any way. “Probably” is certainly the wrong word here.
