Yeah that's true.
Once a person begins to see how insidious and evil, how dehumanizing and destructive capitalism is, it can make people angry.
You guys always talk disparity because looking at the absolute condition of both top and bottom, you’d have to realize that the bottom does better in capitalism than it does under any other system.
If you looked at it in terms of “which system leads to more suffering in poor people”, you’d see capitalism is the best for literally everyone.
Nobody is starving in capitalist countries. People regularly starve under other economic systems. That should tell a “compassionate” person everything they need to know about the comparison, but these “compassionate” people always go to “what’s the spread between top and bottom?”
No. The right question is: “What’s the spread between zero and the bottom?”
