This system is one where the profits are privatized, while risks and loss are publicized -- we all know that.
Throughout the world, the poverty is rising, hunger is increasing. "The needs are simply rising faster than the money coming in" says OCHA spokesperson. So, while corporate profits are sky-high, they enjoy low-tax or no-tax profits while the whole world suffers.

UN on The Benefits of World Hunger
Death by starvation is also a benefit … for the capitalists.



The article has already been removed, but the Internet remembers everything.

I’ll copy the full text here in case they take it out from the web archive, too.

We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished, viewing it as comparable with the plague or aids. But that naïve view prevents us from coming to grips with what causes and sustains hunger. Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour.

We in developed countries sometimes see poor people by the roadside holding up signs saying “Will Work for Food”. Actually, most people work for food. It is mainly because people need food to survive that they work so hard either in producing food for themselves in subsistence-level production, or by selling their services to others in exchange for money. How many of us would sell our services if it were not for the threat of hunger?
More importantly, how many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger? When we sell our services cheaply, we enrich others, those who own the factories, the machines and the lands, and ultimately own the people who work for them. For those who depend on the availability of cheap labour, hunger is the foundation of their wealth.

The conventional thinking is that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs. For example, an article reports on “Brazil’s ethanol slaves: 200,000 migrant sugar cutters who prop up renewable energy boom”.1 While it is true that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs, we need to understand that hunger at the same time causes low-paying jobs to be created. Who would have established massive biofuel production operations in Brazil if they did not know there were thousands of hungry people desperate enough to take the awful jobs they would offer? Who would build any sort of factory if they did not know that many people would be available to take the jobs at low-pay rates?

Much of the hunger literature talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense. No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.

The non-governmental organization Free the Slaves defines slaves as people who are not allowed to walk away from their jobs. It estimates that there are about 27 million slaves in the world,2 including those who are literally locked into workrooms and held as bonded labourers in South Asia. However, they do not include people who might be described as slaves to hunger, that is, those who are free to walk away from their jobs but have nothing better to go to. Maybe most people who work are slaves to hunger?

For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.

There are some truths that when you think about them, they can inform your actions. The biggest one is that there is enough food that no human should go hungry. There are enough resources so that everyone can have shelter. The fact that we have hunger and homelessness is a direct result of billionaires and the lack of will to fix distribution of the food and houses. It is a direct result of greed. -> more #NoBillionaires #hunger #homelessness #taxbillionaires

The effort by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to slash and reshape American foreign aid is crippling the intricate global system that aims to prevent and respond to famine. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/07/world/science-health/us-aid-halt-global-hunger/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #us #aid #food #hunger #gaza #sudan

Schon nach wenigen Tagen zeigen sich dramatische Konsequenzen des Stopps der US-Entwicklungsleistungen durch Präsident Trump: Es gibt umfassende Versorgungsausfälle im Sudan, Syrien, Gaza und der Ukraine. Die afrikanische Gesundheitsbehörde CDC Africa warnt vor 2 - 4 Mio. zusätzlichen Toten.

Mit VENRO rufen wir zur Bildung einer europäischen Allianz auf, um die humanitäre Krise abzufedern. ➡

Einen Einblick wie #Hunger in #Gaza aussieht bekommt man in diesem Artikel. Wie gesagt - hier geht es nicht um eine Hungersnot aufgrund von einer Narurkatastrophe, hier geht es um das absichtliche Verhungern lassen von Menschen aus rein politischen Gründen, mit billigender Zustimmung der deutschen Bundesregierung und anderer Regierungen.

A new Israeli law banning the U.N.
