What makes the destitute not destitute? Production. How do we increase production? By accumulating capital and freeing labor. Which countries in the world have the lowest rates of destitution? Those with relatively free markets. First world capitalism isn't the problem plaguing third world countries, third world socialism is. An example of how proliferated markets lead to people who aren't starving to death is China. All can preach about how so much fairer having the state owning the means of production is, but the end result is the reversal of going from 80% of the world's population being destitute to only 20% since the industrial revolution. Ask Venezuela,Cuba, North Korea, etc how faIr their systems are.
