Preventable Diseases such as malaria can be prevented by vaccines and nets. Communists claim if Capitalism was destroyed these would go away. But I ask the Communist, how would a Socialist State being in charge change these numbers.

Give people vaccines, medicine, and nets for free? Where’s the argument?

All the plausible ways of preventing these diseases would be possible under a Capitalist system.

That’s literally the fucking point, lol. It’s possible under capitalism, but it’s not happening because it wouldn’t be profitable.

Famine is a thing that exists or has existed across all cultures.

You know what system brought routine famines to an end? Socialism.

Out of these 7 examples, 4 have been under Communism.

I wonder why countries with low productive forces under constant siege by imperialists would have trouble feeding people?

Also the most free Market countries, (United States, European Nations, Pacific Asian Nations) have very little threat of famine.

The imperial core is not how capitalism should be judged. It’s a tiny fraction compared to the many “free market” capitalist nations in the periphery where there is constant hunger and lack of food sovereignty. Even in the imperial core there is lots of food insecurity. In many poor and non white areas of the US there are food deserts.

Anarchocapitalism is such a joke.

    The famine point is very important. I read a thing before where they said the Soviets and Chinese noticed the land was being used and tilled too often (for profit, surprise surprise) and they would take advantage of better land that was not tilled as much in conjunction with transporting food when an area has heavier famine than usual.

    “Also the most free Market countries, (United States)” we started bad. ironically, US market system is MORE restrictive than some third world countries. you can go to jail if you don’t pay taxes, and the agricultural sector isn’t subsidized?
