    Please clarify your point. You seem to be saying "the subsidies we provide have nothing to do with subsidization".

      Because it doesn't…we subsidize farmers, so we don't have a famine…we don't subsidize farmers because of socialism or capitalism. It's literally done as a fail safe. It's the same reason we have metric tons of cheese on hand as well.

        The idea that the government should provide such a failsafe against famine is an act of socialism. A purely capitalist approach to a famine is that the individual should be responsible for preparing their own means of surviving it, or perish in an act of economic Darwinism.
