But supporting people doesn't also have to equate to providing them 5 star meals and delicacies many middle class individuals do not routinely buy themselves. And without capitalism, we wouldn't be where we are now. Let me know of a nation that is ripe with freedom, prosperity, wealth and technology that doesn't follow a capitalistic model. And also let me know if you want to move somewhere else. And if so, where? Such luxuries could readily be afforded if the surplus were not allowed to fall in to the hands of individuals. Jeff bezos, richest man in history, is praised while there's regular articles about unsafe and unethical working conditions, such as overworking employees. One thing people always overlook when they pull that "this isn't possible without capitalism" line is that for millennia prior to capitalism arising? People still would have researched and created things to aid in the advancement of various aspects of life. Even under capitalism, there's always been people who went out of their way to further studies in various scientific fields so as to advance those subjects and society as a whole. If anything, capitalism has held us back in recent decades as demonstrated by the fact that research and the like is so expensive that researchers on the cutting edge of their fields are almost always stuck in an endless loop of seeking funding through grants and the like to continue their research. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:896041153] in I agree wi...
