It's not irrelevant, the idea that "communism is when no food" is wrong because they ended famine in a region where that was common.
You're looking too hard for an argument where there never needed to be one.
I mean, if a post says that the US has higher rates of starvation than socialist countries, someone jokingly references the "communism is when no food trope," then you respond by suggesting there may be some truth to that, I don't think it's an "argument" to point out that socialist countries did achieve food security better than capitalist countries.
Take off the blinkers.
