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.
