Thats just "under the concept of having any amount of people not be farmers"
People were paying for food long before capitalism existed.
It's capitalism vs government programs that can feed the starving, not capitalism vs anything else. That was an era before the modern state. We're talking about with today's systems, not with systems that are no longer relevant.
Also, self sustaining communities shared food with their own at numerous points in history. People were giving food to eachother for the common good long before Karl Marx.
Capitalism n government programs coexist. They are not opposites
True, but I was trying to highlight relying on capitalism to feed people, vs using government programs at all. I didn't mean to imply that they are mutually exclusive.
