Capitalism does not lift others from poverty
and that is utterly laughable
I was hoping you would make even one argument about moral or actual positions
but even on this point
I have however seen the figures for how many have starved, either intentionally or accidentally, under them, or the large numbers sent to reeducation camps that are often never released and just disappear.
This is pretty simple
I'm not even a communist but here we go
What caused this? Communism?
so first of all on the poverty point, the world poverty line is decreased every few years or lesls
*less
you can go ahead and look it up
they literally change the poverty line slightly lower by a few cents creating the illusion of more out of poverty
So your arguement is that poverty rates haven't been changing.
They didn't change it here. They literally defined it in the graph as less than 1.90$ a day
Lets go delve into this source then
WE WAS EXTREMELY IMPOVRISHED N SHIET
also even STILL
Capitalism enforces a permanent amount to be in poverty
I mean fuck. I guess South Korea is still a shithole huh?
no point in history has a capitalist state had a unemployment rate below 1%
without the economy soon collapsing
Fascism best ism
^
Yeah ofc, but there are plenty of people who aren't in extreme poverty that are unemployed
(about unemployment)
Also
5k you lied
they in the source itself
No communist economy has lasted long before completely collapsing, or adopting some measure of a free market, either.
And having full employment breeds stagnation as no new startups can be created
say the international poverty line was revised

what Communist society was allowed to flourish?
Because the USSR was popularly supported
there was literally a referendum in 1991
a few months before its dissolution
What society was "allowed" to fluorish?
over 70% of the population supported it
The USA isn't embargoed by over half of the world
