    Wages, conditions and actual hours worked by employed individuals are worsening in America. As is poverty. Literally the exact opposite trends as China

      Wait, so you agree that wages and conditions are improving in America, but you're arguing elsewhere it's the opposite? What? Also, poverty has been decreasing yearly (likely temporarily) in America. So no.

        They are not. Wages and conditions are stagnant or worsening in America. Sorry I’ll edit it to clarify that

          K cool so you're going to double down and ignore the fact that you are lying about poverty rates I guess.

          Also, just so you know, I can literally pick from any inarguably capitalist country in place of America, and my point would still stand. Any country where these metrics are improving. You would undoubtedly say that there is reason to criticize them, and it wouldn't make sense to try to shut down discussion. But for some reason you think differently here.

          But the fact remains that a lot of workers are subjected to poor working conditions and the only explanation, as a materialist, is that it serves the ruling class. You can not argue that lol
