You're in denial of reality, kid. Capitalism has produced the best, wealthiest society ever. In human history. Things are better today than they have ever been, literally. Even for the poor. Kings of old didn't live as well as today's welfare recipients.

But don't despair, you shouldn't worry about the future of the US. As a commie your entire thing is destroying the US. You must encourage things to get worse, much worse, only then will things be bad enough to justify the revolution you desire. Jeez, do I have to lecture you on your own philosophy? You don't even believe in countries!

If current day America is the "Best" capitalism can produce, then capitalism has failed miserably.

How can you even say that? We are fabulously wealthy, even our poor. I think you have been too long inside an echo chamber.

Either that, or you compare America not to what exists, but to some fantasy that exists only in your head. Then, when we obviously can't fulfill that, because it's a fantasy, you shit on us for it.

It's like the North pole; every other direction is south. You're at the Left pole, every other direction is right.

The two choices are appreciating what you have or being a victim... of course the weak-minded people are going to go with being a victim.
