Money is not even a capitalist invention. People have used a medium for exchange for thousands of years before capitalism.

There's enough food, water shelter and YES MONEY to go around for everyone. BTC and cryptos prove this and THAT'S why they hate them.

Having enough has never been a problem. There are many homes people could have for free. The thing is people don't want them. Even he homeless don't want them.

Right it only became a problem under capitalism as greedy ppl made common ppl work for nothing. Why? to CENTRALISE wealth to themselves. That's why. Your econ model is dead.
replied 2276d
That isn't happening though. If you live in the west as a poor person then you are one of the rich of the world. Globalism is what prevents the middle class from growing.
replied 2276d
False. The west is far more expensive than other places. If anything, being 'poor' in the third world is better than being poor in the first. In the 3rd food is cheap and nutritious.

You could not be more wrong. The homeless in the developed world have a higher income than most of the world.

increasing some corporate corner on the market. This is a hugely centralizing force, which means money flows to the top and away from everyone else, hence poverty. There's enough

Capitalism is not a zero sum game. It actually creates more wealth than there was before, so while more naturally goes to the owners, more is had for all.
replied 2276d
So why has everything centralized over time? Media used to be owned by like 30 comps, now only 6. Health, food, govt, edu. all centralize under capitalism. Dec. before.

Kind of a force of nature actually. Everything in nature tends that way.
replied 2276d
False, everything in nature tends to anti-fragility thru decentralization. Decen. of sex, task, support, growth. Look at how plants form and survive, contained units. Decentralized.
replied 2275d
Yes, look at how plants form and survive. Inequality is a part of nature. Look at the universe. If you do so objectively you see what I am talking about.

He said capitalism, i.e. the cen. of money in the hands of capitalists imposes scarcity, not money. He is correct. Think about it. What is capitalism about? Working for a boss,
replied 2276d
That is just as incorrect. Scarcity is not fabricated. It is natural. Capitalism is the best way to manage scarcity. Just look at how capitalism has helped nations develop.
replied 2276d
Yes it is. The west wastes more food than needed to feed the world. Capitalism centralizes resources under the wrong idea that it will 'trickle down'. IT doesn't it gets passed down.
replied 2276d
It supports my point that the west throws out food. If you expect poor nations to eat what the west throws out then you have not thought the problem through.
replied 2276d
Not my point, my point is there is enough food for everyone but something, i.e. capitalism, restricts transport and delib. causes waste.
replied 2275d
That is incorrect. The reasons for other nations not having food it not due to capitalism. It is due to a lack of capitalism. When governments control markets.
