@dirty1smelly1turban There's two things wrong with that. First of all, one example (or even plenty of examples) is not sufficient to show that it's always the case. But worse than that, america is far more than just capitalist. It's a democratic republic. There are plenty of kinds of capitalist systems (all pretty much save for socialist and fascist). Perhapse the problem lies in a democratic rebulic system and not in a capitalist system?

@SlaveryEvolves how does it not? read the definition of each, look at what america is like, turn on the news. its quite clear america is a corporatist oligarchy. it was a capitalist state until corporations went out of control some 50 or so years ago.

@samarthdevendra001 poverty levels decreasing? 1 in 3 americans are at the poverty line. the gini coefficient of america is as low as african countries. post scarcity has nothing to do with equal wage, it has nothing to do with socialism, capitalism, corporatism, totalitarianism, or any other -ism that is in effect present day. it is a complete overhaul of how society works at its core. also, socialist countries like germany, canada, france, etc are the most well off so that proves you wrong.

@dirty1smelly1turban well sir its working and working just fine poverty levels around the world are decreasing and will continue to decrese untill socialist ppl like you get a political foothold....call it post scarcity, equal wage society and what ever you want to.... packing rotten piss in a new bottle dosent make it any better...socialism has never resulted in a prosperous society and never will no matter what....

@dirty1smelly1turban How does capitalism lead to corporatism? This doesn't seem to follow at all.
