People aren’t going hungry in capitalist countries.

Are you kidding? People go hungry constantly in capitalist countries, it's just perhaps people you are told not to care about.

  • Homeless people routinely go hungry.
  • Disabled people routinely go hungry.
  • Low-income people routinely go hungry.
  • With the sociopathic demonization of free lunch programs for kids in schools, children routinely go hungry.

Food bank usage has soared, which doesn't solve the problem, but simply temporarily alleviates it for those who have access to food banks. Many places don't have food banks accessible, and if you don't have transportation, getting to the nearest is not always feasible.

I have first-hand experience of going hungry, being in a capitalist country. To pretend it doesn't happen is to be blind and ignorant.
