    None? People don’t starve to death in western countries. And where they do the issue is lack of infrastructure. A communist government couldn’t conjure the resources needed to build that out of thin air either.

      “This thing doesn’t happen, and when it does, it’s not the fault of capitalism itself” is a monumentally stupid argument. Especially when talking about the homeless population, which absolutely does have people that starve.

      A communist government couldn’t conjure the resources needed to build that out of thin air either.

      And the capitalist economy chose not to build it because it wasn’t profitable, or after it was built, it was too expensive to be used.

        I said it doesn’t happen in the west, not that it doesn’t happen anywhere. Please learn to read.

        Where is your great communist country ?? Oh wait, it’s not there. It doesn’t exist and it never will. Capitalism works. Not perfect but it works. Your idealized version of communism is great but so is my idealized version of capitalism where everyone has a shot at the American dream!
