The Benefits of World Hunger
(lemmy.ml)
The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol
And to be clear you mean the original UN article, not the article from the libertarian think tank “Foundation for Economic Education” (“FEE”)
And the UN article link (archive) is in the comments
I couldn't find the original UN article which is why I was referencing the FEE one. Also, while I quoted the bit about "empowered intellectuals" I assumed that was pro-capitalist cynicism towards education and community due to the heavily pro-capitalist slant in the rest of the FEE article. I kinda figured everyone else picked up on that too.
Thanks for the link! I'll have to read the original in a bit.
Someone linked it bellow: https://archive.is/MObDZ
The FEE article is garbage, but the original is like a broken clock, it makes a couple of valid points, but it doesn't strike me as being written by an anti capitalist, but by someone who wants to reform capitalism.
