Literally millions of people starving each day can be fed with pennies per day.
How does capitalism justify this atrocity?

400 million is chump change when you have all the money in the world.

When you spend $100 on an usual hat in Team Fortress 2, don't come crying to me.

Fuck I hate commies. You can't EAT money retards. You trade money for foodstufs which have a finate quantity.

what really makes me mad is when fucking rich people buy bricks of gold and hide them in the cellar when they bricks could be used to build a house for a family of 12 in somalia

what is wrong with your brain?

Fuck those people in Somalia

Art is used for money laundering

its money laundering goy

I really think it is for money laundering or tax evasion. High value art is just like cryptocurency.

This

see, the problem with feeding those hungry mouths, is that tomorrow they will be hungry again. And you can keep feeding them, but they do nothing to help their own situation, and instead depend on you feeding them, and then procreate to where you are feeding many more mouths than when you started. And all depending on you to continue feeding them. And then they invade Europe.

It hasn't been run over by fucking commies. If you want to feed the poor, grow food for them.

Bitching over the value of rare item is just pure bullshit. It's the lamest type of virtue signaling going. Nobody with half a clue about history trust's some envious commietrash to feed anyone.

Money laundering is a symptom of a non free market

ITT: Commies are still fucking retarded.

Only the unproductive don’t eat

everyone can make people. not everyone can make art

money laundering is a thing

owner was a (((russian))) rich guy, LD had enormous attention to detail if you want to check the errors of the painting check the cristal ball JC is holding.

Pennies? It would take at least a couple dollars for most people to maintain bare minimum. If you really look into this you'll find that it costs a bit more.. still cheap though.

Also: at this point most people would rather die than to eat nothing but 500 cals of plain white rice for a long period of time. This isnt a joke.. Most people are like that now even in 3rd world countries.

What, would you prefer to live in a world where we feed the Mona Lisa into a mulching machine and use it to grow soy to feed another African dindu who'll never amount to anything?
Let me redpill you on the value of human life, user: lower than that painting. People are a renewable resource. Great art, substantially less so.

Starvation is natural when a population cannot feed itself, demanding that people who breed without securing resources to feed their progeny be allowed to release more incapable of self sufficiency onto the world is cruel to literally every person who is capable of supporting themselves in the world.
You've forgotten the basic lesson of, "Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for a lifetime." This lesson also implies that those who fail to learn even after being taught must suffer the consequences rather than just being given food until some descendant of theirs can learn.
Every effort for centuries has been made to teach Africa.

>Also: at this point most people would rather die than to eat nothing but 500 cals of plain white rice for a long period of time.
And potatoes. Potatoes are the only real crop you can consume long term and still get enough of the proper vitamins.

Oh shit someone who gets it

The only times humanity as a whole ever 'moves forward' is due to relatively few individuals at a given point in time being a great deal more brilliant than the average chaff

It is then this chaff that follows in these individuals wake and takes pride in achievement that is not their own (see the family of Genghis Khan as a great example of fucking up what they never could have created)

Humanity follows in the wake of its best, communism seeks to make all 'equal' which is to snuff out the only ones who keep our species from stagnation

That isn't to say some fucking retards can't succeed in a capitalist society with some luck however someone of brilliance can always rise to the top, that is why there needs to remain a 'top' to rise to

This
MONEY LAUNDERING
ffs
LRN2 DEEP STATE

MONEY LAUNDERING.
Dumbshit.

And those people need to starve or they'll just fuck ten times more starving people into existence for the next round of ever increasing gibs.

I think you are retarded. Go slowly. Think about the food and where it comes from. Think about the art and where it comes from. You're not going to get your desired results if you shut down the chain of transactions involved in art and repurpose the same resources to food production and consumption. Next time think more slowly before you post.

Speaking of black people,
Does anyone have the chart where it shows what would happen if black people instantly left the US?

People need to realise that to combat poverty, you don't need food. You need education and training.
It's the old proverb. Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fist, well you know.

Another commie that hates art, shocking. No wonder every commie country has been devoid of creativity, everyones below poverty together and starving.

Also the irony of a communist complaining about what other people could do to stop starvation. You realize alot of those starving countries are socialist, right? If you want to get rid of starvation, its workers rights and a mixed capitalist economy. This is why the west is extremely successful, they have a system based around taking advantage of human self interest to the benefit of everyone. Communism has a system that rewards altruism, punishes you for inventing, hates you taking risks and will never reward you for your work.

Its not an atrocity that another country is so stupid it starves itself. Many in africa are science deniers who dont know crop rotation. Its their problem, we have no obligation to support stupidity. Theyve been taught science before, they were colonized and given technology, and very few of them adopted it, they blew it. The plight of Africa is theirs, not anyone elses.

>How does capitalism justify this atrocity?

It's his money.

>How does capitalism justify this atrocity?
It's his money he can do what he likes with it, you fucking tyrant faggot.

Probably dirty money laundering. Calling it now

The 400 million did not go anywhere
It just went from one rich guy to another
How did this affect the food supply?

True capitalism has never been tried.

What's the matter commie?

Mad that your shitstains of """modern art""" will never sell for this much money?

It's like art is more than just throwing random shit at a canvas! What a crazy idea!

This disproves the labor theory of value.

Obviously

"capitalism" is a term invented by communists

b-but

>millions of people starving each day
good

global warming isnt killing the earth
running out of oil isnt killing earth
deforestation and littering, pollution, none of it
we are killing the earth by pumping out more humans than this shithole of a planet can reliably support
the world population will hit 10 bill before youre grand kids are born
let them starve
thats a good thing for the rest of us

...

in communist countries art is valued more than human lives. at least in capitalist countries its just money

The reason they can't be fed is because they live under a dictators who prevent aid from reaching the people(good luck getting a food truck in north korea), the reality is that the only way to "feed the world" would be complete world conquest but all you faggots would cry "muh civilian casualties" if we did.

>Author William Thackery was the first recorded use of the word "capitalism" 3 years prior to Karl Marx ever using it.
>T. 3 seconds of web searching to not just be an ignorant fuckwad that spews shit.

>How does capitalism justify this atrocity?

The person that spent the 400 million has no obligation to ask the hive mind collective on what they spend their money on. Fuck off.

> word "capitalism" 3 years prior to
Ok so did it exist before then?
>Karl Marx ever using it.
Marx popularized it

>Commie worried about the famine

Like if holodomor never happened !

Why should I care about subsaharan africans who are too stupid to stop fucking so much? Also, the food itself is the cheap part, it's collection, transport, storage, and dissimination which are expensive. How do you deliver food in a country with no warehouses and barely any trucks or roads?

You claimed communists invented it.
You were wrong.
Now go drink bleach.

>How does capitalism justify this atrocity?
it's not your money so you have nothing to say about it

Translated version?

This. The lives of 1000 Africans are not worth a single renaissance painting.

Because niggers in Africa aren't fucking humans. Who's starving to death in Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and Singapore?

I think it's weird that it's not even recognized as a real one by a lot of 'experts'.

>How does capitalism justify this atrocity?

Someone has this money and you don't. Its as simple as that. If you had 500 million would you donate it? Be honest and look into your heart. You are full of shit. Also SAGE.

Shoosh commie.

Zionist money laundering you faggot commie. But at least your doing great work on behalf of Jewish globalist who despise you. Retard.

It's called money laundering, you fucking inbred Commie retard.
