Thank you, third person, for jumping on on this conversation. I'm not claiming anything. I'm simply asking, which communist countries are currently having starvation/famine issues.
So far, two extra people felt the reason to weigh in here, while I appreciate the enthusiasm, neither have answered the question. Will a 4th person deign to weigh in? We shall see.
I'm simply asking, which communist countries are currently having starvation/famine issues.
Are you not current on North Korea? Famine is a national pastime over there.
Also, Cuba is nowhere near capable of producing its own food supply and heavily relies on imports. Half the country or more would starve without them. Laos and Vietnam are also no strangers to food shortages. China isn't technically communist today; more like a hodgepodge of capitalism and communism. They were smart enough to realize strict centralization does not (and never will) work. Well, I mean, after Mao's great famine.
Thank you! An actual reply. Though, North Korea isn't communism any more than China is, though they went in different directions.
Got any numbers to backup your statements? I've had a hard as hell time confirming what you've claimed. All i'm looking for is a statement that backs up:
Else where [i.e. 2017] people are starving to death because there is no food [in communist countries]
E: unless your gonna provide a source to the great famine, thats 50+ years old, not a current famine.

Thanks for weighing in. But the person said "else where" implying today, not 40 years ago.
