Having large numbers of people starve to death seems like a pretty damning indictment of a system. But I dunno, maybe I’m overly attached to food?

    Whether you realise it or not, you are making a very poor argument. I could reply that eating food falls well within a communist system, therefore you can’t blame communism for famines.

    The fact is that the majority of the world is capitalist (including, of course, major oil companies who have known about climate change for decades and hid the research) and yet the planet is still being made uninhabitable almost as quickly as we possibly can.

    Why does capitalism get a free pass for this but communism doesn’t get the same treatment?
