Capitalism be like "we lift people out of poverty"

I guess it really is all survival bias. People don't really get more conservative as they get older. People with more radical politics are more likely to die young.

Capitalism gets credit for every person lifted out of poverty. Communism gets credit for every person to ever die.

lifting people out of poverty by lifting their souls up to heaven. so heckin wholesome

We've solved homelessness by jailing everyone

In capitalist history books this will be referred to as a result-oriented approach

capitalism is the best system for forcing everyone into poverty, and slowly selling them back their standard of living at a 100% markup. it practically sells itself!

jokes on them (and us). There must always be a reserve army of labor and a proletarian class, so genociding the poor never works out and a new poor class emerges

I don't know how anyone can understand the reserve army of labor and still fall for this line

For anyone interested or who hasn't seen this, it's the 2020 UN Poverty Report, which is highly critical of neoliberal "prosperity" rhetoric: https://chrgj.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Alston-Poverty-Report-FINAL.pdf

Is it only communists that post here?

Capitalism is a primitive system of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

As is China. As was the USSR.

What you've described is just humans, not capitalism. Alas.
