Why Don't Democracies Have Famines?
Channel: Skeleman
Date: 2021-01-10

In this video we go over the causes of famines and how we can prevent them. Famines aren't natural disasters in the same way that hurricanes or volcanoes are. They're human-made disasters like war and genocide. Democracy is the cure for famine. Markets, a lack of markets, state capitalism, feudalism, capitalism, etc. None of those stop famine! It's democracy! Please donate to food banks
