Ah, yes. Neoliberal hack (who destroyed the USSR) travels to neoliberal countries and is impressed by neoliberalism. Darn, really dunks on socialism.
Besides, most Americans are fat and unhealthy nowadays. Their processed slop is killing them. The Soviets meanwhile were slender and fit. Do you honestly believe slop deserved to win?

And yet more than 30 million Americans are food insecure and relying on food banks.
Huge success.

lol, they are counting people who didn't have dinner once on a Sunday per week, and also counting those who did not have a nutritious enough meal. By those standards every poor country is 99% food insecure and food insufficient.

lol bullshit
Which is, in fact, a serious problem. American capitalism incentivises the production of addictive, sugar filled foods. People are enticed and entrapped into making poor nutritional decisions for the incessant pursuit of profit. America is politically, socially and physically, not a healthy nation.
The profit motive permeates everything. Every where you turn, people's value and labor is being squeezed out of them, just to be hoarded by a ruthless ruling class. I suppose the rich will keeping getting richer until they run out of other people's money.
The current dismantlement of neoliberalism is an exciting and necessary thing. Sadly, we're just moving from one shitty form of capitalism to another. Instead, we should move forward.

From your link. If I missed breakfast once in a week I would be on the food insufficient list.
Bananas are pretty much the same price in the US and India. If you don't have the self control to buy a banana that's on you at some point.
Agree with the rest of what you said.
Something would have one day had to replace modern day capitalism as a further upgrade, but it is certainly not communism.

This implies that people are missing meals because of some sort of shortfall. This isn't a matter of "oh I don't feel like breakfast today" = "I'm literally starving", but instead a condemning realisation that capitalism simply cannot provide enough food for people.
Yes, America produces more food than it consumes. Great. The critical issue is that people do not have enough capital to buy that food.
Even as technology advances, capitalism holds society back. It strangles. Everyone in America could be fed if the shackles of capitalism were broken.

And how is the average Indian meant to afford that? Again, capital leads to food withering away on a shelf.
Again, capitalism incentivises the purchase of unhealthy options. How are you meant to eat healthy when corporate propaganda is shoved down your throat at every turn?
It most certainly is. I ensure you that you'll eventually realise that.

Nor can any other ideology. Capitalism at least succeeds in providing more food every single year.
Good point. Again, is the case in other places too. I believe you would have a more compelling argument if you attack the contradictory absurdities of capitalism rather than capitalism as a whole being a failed system.
The average Indian can afford bananas at those prices. The point was that compared to US capital those prices are relatively even cheaper for the average American.
A more compelling argument would be that processed food is engineered to be addictive in ways that normal crops or wheat or rice is not.

There isn't enough land on that planet for communism to work with 8.2 billion humans living on the same planet.

👏 for 👏 it 👏 to 👏 rot 👏 on 👏 shelves
The r-slurred Ruski might fall for it but I do not
The average Indian can afford bananas at $4.00/kg?
This is another reason why free trade is a complete disaster. Greedy capitalists from wealth countries' go and pillage the local markets of developing nations. The people of those nations are their priced out of purchasing the literal fruits of their nations and labour.
See? You're starting to get it.
I am attacking the absurdities of capitalism. It just so happens the whole thing is absurd.
That's literally my point.
Comrade, I have a solution

Not only was he an ideological neolib, he was directly funded and aided with American money. He was more or less a puppet propped up by American support through aid, etc.

False. Especially when you take away blacks and other non-whites. We know Europeans are talking
about White 
Americans 
when they say Americans.
