I'm sure that hunger has been a bigger problem in Africa and India than it has been in any socialist state in our lifetimes.
Huh, India was socialist.
Africa's dysfunction isn't due to capitalism nor would be improved by the alternatives, as evidenced by the total collapse of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe when it was taken over by collectivists. Similarly, the proportion of Indians living in extreme poverty in India has been reduced by ~90% since it shifted to a market economy around '91.
Mass starvation was more of a communism thing, not accounting for wars.
