    ITT: tons of people defending capitalism by forswearing the last 200,000 years of social progress.

    To quote Bernie, who might have been quoting someone else: poverty isn’t an inevitability. It’s a policy choice.

      Just plain inaccurate. There are no staunch capitalists on this website.

      That being said, getting to do work and gain access to goods through that can provide a sense of safety as you are able to sustain yourself. But there are loads of caveats to every part of that sentence.
