If they had any critical thinking, they would realise one of the world’s coldest places to live and one of the most populated place to live are not immune to starvation because efficiency of capitalism or some shit.

        Ukraine had famine every few years on average before 1917. China had major famine (at least one entire province) every single year for almost 2000 years. Except since 1949 it had just one.

      Like during the 1920s in america there was a famine (dustbowl + Great Depression) until the green revolution (and communist states) famines were ubiquitous.
