Bruh I've seen families begging for food outside of grocery stores in the United States of America. Now what communist countries had beggers asking for milk?

China has over 3 million starving homeless people.

https://havanatimes.org/cuba/child-beggars-a-growing-problem-in-holguin-cuba/ Cuba has a huge child starvation problem.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66924300 Laos has a huge poverty and homeless problem.

Vietnam has over 23k homeless street children https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2016/oct/05/saving-hanoi-street-children-vietnam-from-abuse-hunger-and-self-destruction

So to answer your question, every current communist country has a huge poverty and homeless problem.

Every source i can find puts homelessness rates in China at max 1,000,000 and all of them say that they live in shelters, not on the streets.

Cuba had been under embargo from the USA since 1962.

Laos has a massive poverty proborm because of debt which is a capitalist construct.

That statistic on Vietnamese homeless Children is 16 years old, and every source ive found states they have been making great strides since then to fight poverty and homelessness.

Lol, you extreme communists are hilarious.

You Capitalist Apologists are so blind to reality it is pathetic there are 18 capitalist countries with higher homeless populations than China. You literally have to divorce yourself from reality to attack Communism. You might as well be covered in shit, while mocking someone for having toilet paper stuck to their shoe.
