Capitalism causes the hunger that kills all those people. It also poisons the environment, killing more people. It also pushes tobacco and fast food killing more, with "pay or die" healthcare systems finishing the job.

Why aren't we fighting capitalism as vigorously as this virus?

So on a barren Island no one starves because there is no Capitalism; right? Holodomor never happened, right?

If it is an island where someone will sell food but won't share it, then yes.

So everyone is starving already, but if someone boats in with food to sell then suddenly the starving becomes their fault? It sounds like you are brainwashed and literally any bullshit you can pull out of your ass against capitalism becomes some kind of brilliant insight to you.

You certainly have to dig deep into "what ifs" to deny the reality of the death and destruction your free-market heroes are causing all around us.

You sound like the brainwashed one.

It's not a what if. It is called stripping everything else away to make it as clear as possible that there is absolutely no way you can claim that something as natural as starvation is caused by a political system. Your claim is retarded on its face and yet there you are making it; so there is something seriously lacking in your reasoning abilities. I am simply trying to make it as easy for you as possible.

You keep defending your masters. https://www.commondreams.org/views/2010/07/02/how-goldman-gambled-starvation

Look up "Stockholm Syndrome" sometime. Not to be too complex for you.
