No one is currently being starved to death (or otherwise being deprived of being alive) because of capitalism

Are you saying that since now only part of the world is starving, it was better in the medieval age when everyone was starving?

Also, the nobility & clergy weren’t starving during feudalism, only the peasants during famines.
