      Yes, really.

      And poverty is many many times lower today than it was a few hundred years ago before capitalism. Even entertaining the idea that it’s not is completely insane. Capitalism correlates extremely strongly with low poverty country to country within a single time period, as well. 2023, for example.

          If your argument is basically just conspiracy theory, than I don’t know what to tell you.

            Capitalism is a conspiracy theory now?

            Hold on… I need to fetch the popcorn. Your little right-wing logic pretzel is about to go full Chernobyl.
