    The literal first country on that list is DRC lol do you know the history of DRC?

    Literally every other place on the list is in the midst of a civil war except Haiti and Afghanistan. Every single one of them by the way is not currently in a state of famine.

      “Famine is severe and prolonged hunger in a substantial proportion of the population of a region or country, resulting in widespread and acute malnutrition and death by starvation and disease.”

      It seems like they are in a state of famine by the official definition.

      What does a civil war have to do with it being Capitalist or not?

      Just find a big list of countries that are currently experiencing famine and look for the ones that aren’t at war, if that’s a problem for you.

      I doubt their Capitalist status will be different.

        In the page you linked, it says that some states are “bordering on a state of famine”, which would imply that they are not currently in a state of famine. Did you read what you linked?

          You didn’t even ask which ones are CURRENTLY facing famine.

          You asked for example if famine in Capitalist nations.

          He over delivered. Stop moving the goalposts.

            If every example given of a (arguably) capitalist country in famine is not in famine, he most certainly didn’t deliver.

              I’m mean, come on man. You can’t be serious? You realize you’re in denial right? You have to realize it.

              It’s clearly right there. He clearly did what you asked. He clearly explained it to you.

              You keep making excuses. Trying to find ways to wiggle out of being wrong. When it is so plain as day, literally spelled out for you.

              Seek help man. Do some inward thinking. It’s impossible to have a discussion when you just deny what is in front of you.
