    capitalism is absolutely a zero sum game, somebody has to be the bottom for there to be a top. if there is no rich and poor there is no capitalism.

    Saying humanity has gotten wealthier per capita and that this is good is inherently capitalist logic, the line going up doesnt mean anyones life is improved. There were non capitalist areas colonized and made to be capitalist, like tribes or whatever, and get jobs, and now they have more money (before they had zero money) but theyre lives are shit.

    And they do collect interest on third world countries, thats a fact, whatever youd like to call it. because again theyre capitalist and thats what every capitalist country does

        im not really saying that hurt anyone, its not a totally good-evil situation. But like mark zuckerberg built a hospital. its not a pass and there are other reasons to do it

          also, who ever said that Marxism = pushing the "destroy all capitalism button" and having Utopia automatically built to replace it?

          Marx literally says that the next stage of productive development would be born from the womb of capitalism & have all its birthmarks

          Lenin and Engels both suggest that state capitalism is the initial stage of socialism

          Mao himself said that this stage of socialism would take a long time and be fraught with many obstacles including the choices between "capitalist-road" and "socialist-road" and that class struggle would itself be a protracted and drawn own affair

          Just because you think PRC needs to do it a certain way, doesn't mean you're right or that your "criticism" means anything in light of their history & trajectory

              the Third Temple doesn't have to be "built"

              god will have perfectly constructed it & it will descend from the Heavens and be placed atop the Mount only after the Messiah has returned & the gentiles have accepted fate
