Its soooooo sad to see all those people in the streets ....... Starving !!!

Not before the caught the capitalism flu bug...before that millions of them starved...

Not the wealthy ones with the authority. These capitalists lived in palaces and incredible excess while depriving those that depended on being served by their officials. Typical private property capitalist created disaster. The globe has never lacked the available resources of all 7 billion to thrive and then contribute each citizen's unique individual contribution, (harmless intent).

1 percent controls 90 percent of the current available resources leaving 99 percent of the global population just 10 percent of the available resources to compete for Darwinian style.

At this ratio of resource distribution, our endeavor at civilization is not serving 99 percent of us better then no law at all would.

tell us old wise man,,when was the last time you seen someone die of starvation here in the god 'ol us of a,,,,,,NEVER, Capitolism, you know the places where even the poor are fat

if you starve here it is because you are a complete dumb ass, it is virtuously impossible to starve here

Just another reason real change will never happen. Not enough people are actually starving to make anyone feel the need to make drastic change. And it's no different than with climate change. The oceans aren't boiling and our lives haven't gotten any harder yet, so no need to change anything.

We only change things after tragedies. Fatal flaws in aircraft designs aren't fixed until after a few airliners fall out of the sky and kill hundreds of people. We didn't see any need to change airport security until someone stole some planes and flew them into buildings. If an entire state had a gigantic portion of people actually starving, maybe we would make a change. But there are too many safety nets for us to feel any immediate concern.

No one in Switzerland is starving.

Now suddenly you are switching your argument around, and you want to play the other direction.

So which of your statements was false?

This thread which you started, isn't about anything but HOW MUCH FOOD IS AVAILABLE TO MORE PEOPLE. Not about how many non-food items are being produced and sold to other countries.

And by the way, China still DOES NOT OPERATE UNDER CAPITALISM. They are still a Communist Dictatorship. They have indeed changed HOW they manage their still entirely socialist economy.

Are you now saying that you see Chinese Socialism as the way to go?

Here's MY main point: it isn't the name on the door of the rulers meeting house that decides availability of food to people. What matters are the exact details that they follow in handling their food systems and distribution.

If you were to carefully tally up all the occurrences of starvation that have ever occurred in the world, you would find that by far the greater number of such occurrences were NOT under Socialist regimes. Most were Capitalist.

HOWEVER. This is NOT because capitalism causes food supply problems. Nor is it because Socialism PREVENTS food supply problems. It IS true, that just as guns don't kill people, people kill people, sometimes using guns; so too, neither capitalism nor socialism causes food shortages. But some Capitalists cause food shortages, and some Socialists cause food shortages.

The main reason why far more food shortages have occurred in capitalist countries, is because there have been very few Socialist countries.

There have been fewer food shortages caused by mismanagement by governments, than there have been caused by natural disasters, but there are MORE food shortages which have been caused by CAPITALIST mismanagement, than by Socialist mismanagement.

Again, this is NOT because either capitalism or socialism cause food shortages.

I always have plenty of food I grow 80% of what I eat and as long as I have ammo to keep others from taking what I have I'll continue to have plenty of food to eat.

test it does not matter they are socialist, it is capitalism that got China where it is today and it is capitalism that has made more food available for more people.

The entire group of capitalists do not qualify in the top ten performers. All ten democratic communists survive and thrive.

Asia makes everything. Why does this country keep losing manufacturing jobs to Asia?

globalism

The answer is obvious...this thread is to weed out the feeble minds.

Jeannie, you are under the impression that Federal parks and such belong to the American people. But that would be false. If that were the case, when the Federal government charges companies to mine ore off the land or drill for oil off the land or cut timber off the land for lumber or whatever, at least part of that money would go to the American people. But it doesn’t, it goes to the government, and they count it as part of their revenues. And some of these places charge entrance fees, and that goes to the Government, You don't get any part of that. And if you want to hunt or fish in the Federal park, the Government charges you license fees to do that. Licenses are government permission to do whatever you are doing. So again, it’s not your land, it’s the government’s land. The State of Alaska is an exception to this rule, they actually give Alaska residents part of the money the State of Alaska makes off the land.

You can’t even take gold or precious stones you find in a Federal park off the land in most cases without being charged with a crime. If any part of that land belonged to the people, that would not be the case. It belongs to the Federal Government.
