Part of why they hate us is the awful realization that the preferred
method of organizing food production in the Third World -- price
controls on food, and collectivized farming -- are extremely ineffective
ways to produce food.

If the Third World were a little less enamored of collectivization
and price controls, they wouldn't have the problems they are having.
