        Because there’s definitely nobody going hungry under capitalism, no siree.

        As we all know, no one ever goes hungry in profitable countries.

        Capitalism got us this far. Now if we try out communism, we can have chipotle style burrito lines, iPhone lines, and latte lines. It’d be glorious.

          Alas, the likely alternative to capitalism is not communism, but feudalism. That was 1000 times worse.
