Isn't happening in well functioning capitalist countries
Because they continue what they have historically done: outsourcing the most extreme poverty and suffering to the countries they exploit for resources.
You do know that hunger and malnutrition in the US impacts millions of people every year, and Cuba has eliminated food insecurity for its entire population, right?
If not, now you do.
I said well functioning.
I don't consider the US well functioning by any metric
I don't consider the US well functioning by any metric
I agree, which countries do you consider well functioning?
And aren't Sweden and Denmark famously more socialist than other developed countries?
Edit: also I find it interesting that Socialism is judged by the worst example you could find, but Capitalism can only be judged by "well functioning countries". US is peak Capitalism, it is exactly the direction Capitalism goes towards.
All capitalist countries are well-functioning, it's just some are exploiters and some are exploited. But that's not a malfunction, that's there by design.
Or, to quote Chomsky:
We therefore conclude that in India the democratic capitalist "experiment" since 1947 has caused more deaths than in the entire history of the "colossal, wholly failed...experiment" of Communism everywhere since 1917: over 100 million deaths by 1979, tens of millions more since, in India alone.
Exporting your poverty and starvation to foreign countries where you super-exploit and plunder does not mean that the cause isn't with the "well functioning Capitalist country."
Oh you mean like is currently happening right now without socialism?
I think they're referring more to historical events. Like the great depression and the dust bowl.
