To what scale is it true that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union weren't able to stop the Holodomor from happening?

So when you go online you see people claim all sorts of things to support their political ideology, one of them was people claiming the Holodomor couldn't possibiliy be the fault of the Communist Party and that it was all due to the ''Kulaks'' or that it was ''just a famine.''

I am no historian and I do realise that letting people die for being ''Kulaks'' is horrible, aside from this personal opinion, I wanted to ask real historians to what extend the Holodomor was preventable and what caused it.

There is a lot to say on this topic. While waiting for answers, I would humbly offer up this answer I wrote about the Holodmor and the question of Soviet intentionality.
