If you mean communist, then that is true in the majority of communist nations (although it wasn't true in the Soviet Union for example). On the other hand, if you mean like European socialist, then, er, no the poor don't suffer from starvation. It depends how you define socialist.

Governments do not exist for compassion. I don't believe that government handouts equal compassion. It seems to me that progressives like taxes and entitlements by way of the government because it absolves them of guilt over the poor without having to do something about the poor themselves. They would rather help the poor through legislation than through privately run charities.The gap between the rich and poor is greater in socialist countries. Furthermore the standard of living among the poor in a capitalistic society is far greater than that of a socialist nation. The poor in the US suffer from obesity and have cable tv. The poor in most socialist nations suffer from starvation. Culture and society can be compassionate. Governments do not exist for compassion.
