When I look at the list of famines in the last centuries, it does not look like capitalism provides any kind of food security.


Then you should read the list of famines rather than just looking at the page, because after the invention of fertilizer which brought an end to mass starvation (and was another product of capitalism), the biggest famines in the history of the world have been from communist nations, whereas the main problem in capitalist nations is obesity. Even the homeless here suffer more from obesity than from hunger.
