You do know that hunger and malnutrition in the US impacts millions of people every year, and Cuba has eliminated food insecurity for its entire population, right?

If not, now you do.

I said well functioning.

I don't consider the US well functioning by any metric

I agree, which countries do you consider well functioning?

Canada, Sweden Denmark Australia

7 million Canadians going hungry under capitalism: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/new-food-banks-canada-research-shows-7-million-canadians-report-going-hungry-833281882.html

And aren't Sweden and Denmark famously more socialist than other developed countries?

Edit: also I find it interesting that Socialism is judged by the worst example you could find, but Capitalism can only be judged by "well functioning countries". US is peak Capitalism, it is exactly the direction Capitalism goes towards.
