    Especially when someone blames capitalism for something which has been a problem since the dawn of humanity, and if anything, has improved under capitalism.

        Hunger. What other form of economic system has kept people this fed? All communist countries have had famines mass killing their population.

        The dust bowl ran a few thousand deaths in America compared to Mao’s famine killing millions, Soviet famines killing millions every couple decades, the '90s North Korean famine killed God knows how many people. Americans get fed dogshit slop, but they don’t starve.
