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

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.

the original UN article

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.
