In the U$A the "war on poverty" has morphed into the "war on the poor". Realistically this has always been the case, but now they have dropped the mask, they make no pretense about it. The "Most Christian Nation" have ripped "The Sermon on the Mount" out of their bibles.
Why would it just be for the US? Is Capitalism unique to the US?
No, Im asking what the standard of democracy it's referring to is.
Economy democracy is vastly important for example, and not only to steer production & development, but also to to keep politics in check.It's referring to western Liberal Democracies. They all function differently, but serve similar purposes and aims with Capitalism as the status quo.
Yes, that makes sense & made sense to me, but the 'todays' part confuses me. Isn't it just the same exact thing in a bit later stages as far as the consequences go?
Yes, generally. It's trying to force the viewer to acknowledge present conditions, as a presumptive call to action to reorganize society along collective lines.
Aye, that is good.
But perhaps it's better to do that without implying that if it "worked" before it might again.It's good for people to understand how other people have to live, but also that this is the result of such a system working as designed.

I don't believe that is the point, here. It's directly saying that this is the result of Capitalism.
Todays capitalism. As if West India & similar corps from ye olden days didn't want this.
But I understand, Im not sure why it bothers me as much.
