    Everything depends on scarcity. Supply and demand. There has to be unsatisfied demand otherwise prices would be too low for anyone to make any money… it’s a poorly designed system.

          Because there’s definitely nobody going hungry under capitalism, no siree.

          As we all know, no one ever goes hungry in profitable countries.

          Parroting completely ignorant takes on history without understanding history. Classic liberal.

          Capitalism got us this far. Now if we try out communism, we can have chipotle style burrito lines, iPhone lines, and latte lines. It’d be glorious.

            Alas, the likely alternative to capitalism is not communism, but feudalism. That was 1000 times worse.
