    Also there’s enough food produced every year to feed everyone. Failure to do so is a failure of capitalism to rationally distribute it to meet human needs: Under capitalism there are populations that it is not profitable to feed adequately, and these people are often unable to even subsistence farm because they are economically chained to monoculture for the sake of profit. People who work on farms growing food for people in the west will suffer malnutrition and die because they can’t sell their agricultural produce for enough to buy food.
