    Socialism is usually built from the remains of a previous brutal regime. Starvation doesn’t end overnight.

    This is the case for both Russia and China. After stabilizing they had an unprecedented improvement in nutrition, longevity and such.

    The same can’t be said for the vast majority of capitalist states, who still experience starvation despite being perfectly capable of feeding everyone.
