Idk if you noticed, but people won't behave that way if there is no repercussion for it.
Great but some people have more aspirations than your uncle. And I think they should have the chance to achieve that. And I don't think having a clean neighborhood should depend on having that uncle that enjoys cleaning for free.
I mean, yes, absolutely possible without squeezing every bit of labor from people. However, it's not possible in a world without money or capital. The wide-spread introduction of capitalism has DRASTICALLY reduced the amount of people living in extreme poverty. According to https://ourworldindata.org/end-progress-extreme-poverty , from 1990 - 2025, the amount of people living in extreme poverty dropped by 65%, from 2.3 billion to 800 million. If we extend the timeframe a bit further, according to https://ourworldindata.org/history-of-poverty-data-appendix , the number went from 53.9% in extreme poverty to only 5.5% - meaning an almost 90% reduction in extreme poverty. Unless I'm too stupid to do math now.
(ourworldindata.org is a non-profit funded by the university of oxford btw - so it's fairly reliable)
Now, capitalism isn't the sole reason why poverty dropped - it's the combination with effective social policies. Capitalism creates wealth, taxes take a part of that wealth and spread it to the rest of society. That's how it should work and that is also by far the best system we could ever have in place. The fact that america fails on that tax-part is not the fault of capitalism. It's a failure of the government.
It's insane that so many people tried to flee from communist terror regimes, and still try to flee to this day out of North Korea or Cuba, yet people on lemmy will just close their eyes and pretend that communism is the perfect system and every system that fails is just because of the "CIA".
