    You do realize poor and destitute people existed long before modern capitalism right. Medieval europe, and the ancient world was full of them, along with many socialist countries

        No, history is full of people living their lives. It’s history’s insufferable idle middle to upper class people trying to justify their miserable existence that has labeled that a class struggle

          No, history is full of people living their lives.

          Gotcha, feudalism, slavery, Capitalism, mercantilism, and so forth have never existed in your world view.

          It’s history’s insufferable idle middle to upper class people trying to justify their miserable existence that has labeled that a class struggle

          What vibes-based politics ultimately results in, lol.

          Please pick up a history book, and please read any Marxist theory if you want to have an opinion on it. No investigation, no right to speak.

      Capitalism is an evolution on previous class societies, not the first one, yes. Socialist countries have eradicated poverty with comparison to their pre-Socialist systems, and that can and should be recognized.
