Comment on High court upholds top London school’s ban on prayer rituals
intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 months agoYou guys always talk disparity because looking at the absolute condition of both top and bottom, you’d have to realize that the bottom does better in capitalism than it does under any other system.
If you looked at it in terms of “which system leads to more suffering in poor people”, you’d see capitalism is the best for literally everyone.
Nobody is starving in capitalist countries. People regularly starve under other economic systems. That should tell a “compassionate” person everything they need to know about the comparison, but these “compassionate” people always go to “what’s the spread between top and bottom?”
No. The right question is: “What’s the spread between zero and the bottom?”

Respectfully dude, you need to get some additional perspective. I have family members actively starving under capitalism through no fault of their own. I’ve watched friends and acquaintances have to decide between paying rent and eating because the wage they are legally making at their full time job (sometimes 2) is not livable.
Even I make what 3 years ago was considered a VERY well of salary and while I’m not at the point of starving, the ever-increasing cost of living has seen the value of my salary literally halve. All this while the richest among us have added over $20T to their net wealth in the same time frame.
You’re comment is so tone deaf I have to believe you’re either so privileged and well off you don’t actually know what it’s like, or you’re specifically here to try and discredit this opinion, or you’re just being very confidently incorrect.
