Capitalism has robbed us of more than we could ever even imagine. To the point where most people don’t even realize they’ve been robbed. It’s tragic.
Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s the reason our standard of living is higher than ever. Every time we try anything else, millions of people die. I’m not sure how many more people need to die for people like you to accept reality. We need to improve capitalism, not turn to authoritarianism.
No, that argument is a complete lie. Technology is why we have a higher standard of living. Technological advancements have taken place in communist countries. They experience the same increases of quality of living as capitalist countries. This proves that argument false. Capitalism isn’t responsible for technology. That’s just wealthy people pushing a narrative to protect the system that consolidates wealth in their hands. Consolidated wealth at the top of the economic ladder is a well known and documented side effect of capitalism. That’s why capitalism requires strong regulations, not free market dogma.
Technological advancements have taken place in communist countries.

regulated capitalism is very different than communism
Formulate a response of substance or fuck off. You absolutely didn’t disprove a single thing I said. Capitalism didn’t raise the quality of living, technology did that. Capitalists steal everything thing they can, including credit for technological advances. They’ve been taking credit for work done by talented engineers and scientists for many generations.

Those engineers and scientists were also capitalists rofl. Pfizer? Capitalist. Apple? Capitalist. Ford? Capitalist. Hell the only non capitalist quality of life enhancements we’ve had come from our military.
To pretend that only capitalists have invented and improved technology is an exercise in ignorance.
Sure, there have been advancements under communism. But the vast majority? Capitalism. Turns out greed is a powerful motivator.
I’ll bet a million dollars your comment is based on a dogmatic belief in capitalism and has absolutely no evidence whatsoever backing it up. You’re basically just making shit up as you go without looking at any data at all. With a rose tinted lense towards capitalism because that’s what you were taught to never question.
I’m not gonna fall for the old sealioning “find me evidence to prove something obvious” ploy. If you ever want to educate yourself, please just google a list of inventions of the past few centuries. And then send me a million dollars.
