In the most capitalist country on Earth, the problem is that even the poor people are getting too fat.
In Zimbabwe, the only country I know of that has recently implemented Marxist ideas about farming, the problem is that people are starving.
And Zimbabwe is ridiculously fertile by the way.

Did Singapore recently have a wave of obesity that I hadn’t heard about? > In Zimbabwe, the only country I know of that has recently implemented Marxist ideas about farming If step one wasn’t “first, develop proletarian class consciousness in an mature capitalist society”, they probably implemented Leninist ideas, not Marxist ideas about anything. Marxism is, at its core and explicitly, path dependent.
