    It feels like most posts talking about “capitalism” are just talking about society as a whole.

    Farmers don’t work for free.

      Farmers don’t make any more money if people starve either. Turns out that we’re not talking about the farmers.

      At least in my country (Europe), farmers receive very little money but food is getting more expensive. Is the great chains of supermarkets that profits in that difference, so it’s definitely a capitalism problem.

      Even the CEO of the biggest supermarket here recognized that they had rise the prices to make more profit even when they didn’t need to do it.
