I view the problem as us treating a tool as a system of government. Capitalism is an incredibly powerful tool for increasing efficiency (real capitalism as in a healthy free market, not monopoly bullshit). But we should be using that tool to our benefit, not having that tool use us. We can use it as a tool without it being our basis of society. Also, capitalism is not self regulating. That's a bullshit myth created by elite monopolists. Unchecked capitalism leads to monopolies and monopolies are the antithesis of capitalism. We used to know that. We used to bust monopolies. We need to learn when and when not to use capitalism. Certain things need to be monopolies. Like transportation and the power grid. Since healthy competition cannot prosper we cannot make them capitalistic. We already need to recognize that capitalism is a tool for us to use. It's ok to break capitalism in special circumstances for the greater good, because the good of the people is more important than perpetuating capitalism. I think abolishing it leads to apathy and inefficiency, but worshipping it leads to inhumanity, and we're not even worshipping it properly because again, monopolies are not capitalism. Like all things in life it's about balance.

I cannot comment on communism as there has not been a true communism in the world yet, but dictatorships sure have been bad.

I worked at a Dunkin for a summer and they had us throwing away two large trash bags full of food every night. It had to be 50lbs of food.

I started giving donuts to teenagers and an elderly Asian man that was always ecstatic to get a big bag of donuts and bagels. I didn't have a car to transport it to a shelter, and this was in a rich area. It was disgusting

Are you the least bit aware of what caused the egg shortage? There was a super virulent strain of avian influenza (bird flu) that has the potential to infect wild birds and to jump to mammals. You know, like people. The same thing triggered the pandemic in 1918 that killed anywhere from 1% - 5% of the world population.

So to avoid that happening again, they had to destroy (slaughter) millions and millions of egg laying hens, which yes, caused a shortage of eggs relative to normal.

There are real issues that need to be addressed with capitalism and workers rights. This isn't one of them and you hurt the real arguments by not educating yourself.

Under capitalism, food is wasted, food that burned a lot of fossil fuels to produce. Capitalism is destroying the biosphere.

In order to do that, they first have to buy the food from the corporations that are producing the food.

Then why are there food deserts in the US?

Bobby's been thinking the deep thoughts ever since Hank stranded him on Mars for disrespecting propane.

Because Bobby Hill is a based commie. Why did you think Hank was always yelling?

It's capitalism vs government programs that can feed the starving, not capitalism vs anything else. That was an era before the modern state. We're talking about with today's systems, not with systems that are no longer relevant.

Also, self sustaining communities shared food with their own at numerous points in history. People were giving food to eachother for the common good long before Karl Marx.

Who is Bobby? That's Dr Arlen, the most powerful being in the universe.

That boy aint right

Absolutely, and we subsidize them to help with that.

Exactly, they get their hard earned dollars from government subsidies like a real American

India under the Raj. Ireland under the UK.

Seeing as how most countries are capitalist, googling "what countries are experiencing famine?" is a good start.

Not seeing any communists (or socialists) on there.

The Irish potato famine, the bengal famines, both under the rule of the UK, easily one of the most heavily capitalist countries at the time.

As well as Bangladesh, Biafra famine, Burma rice crisis, 1950 Canadian famine, Darfur famine, 1904 Spanish famine, 1878 Alaskan Famine, 1867 Swedish famine, 1816 European famine, 1811 Spanish famine, or the dozens of other massive famines in India that killed millions, or the dozen or so Austrian Galicia famines, or the dozen famines in pre communist China or the famines in pre communist Russia.

Anyone that actually believes famine is a problems that is unique to "communism" or doesn't exist in capitalism are either ignorant or just a troll.
