> countries like Venezuela struggle to feed their own people in the modern era The US would also struggle to feed their own people if they were not subsidizing (something that is considered a crime in capitalism) their own farmers to the tune of several billion dollars a year. This is the reality of modern economies, farming pays close to nothing, and the only way to feed your population is to put large amounts of money into subsidies, something which South America, Africa, and other regions of the world don't have.
