You realize that food producers in a communist nation wouldn’t be supposed to make profits, right? The problems with that in various countries were from poorly done central planning.
Not any more than it is under capitalism. People starve under that system too. Meanwhile you have Republicans crying that a state might pay $1.50 a day to feed a needy kid lunch at school. Why is that even necessary then?
Do I have a citation that starvation exists in capitalist countries as well? I don’t think comparing the rest of the world to the US, which is extraordinarily well-positioned economically for a variety of reasons, makes much sense. Even so, we have 15-30 million people in the US who experience occasional or chronic food insecurity.
As far as Cuba, who knows how they would have done without decades of a US trade embargo. Venezuela has suffered under looting and misrule by authoritarian dictators, not communism.
oh, a capitalist economy? yep, they all feature people on the lower economic rung starving. check out the industrial revolution in the UK for a great example.

Ha ha, no. If that’s the angle you’re coming from that explains a lot.
