RE: Why Does Poverty Exist?

in #life7 years ago

Poverty exists because Capitalism is the driving force in society today.
It's a plague that causes people to lose their humanity and no longer value the life of not just animals or the earth, but even their fellow humans.

When property and profit come before a life I honestly cannot value your life.

While you may not want to call it or blame it on capitalism and rather corporates, they're the end result of capitalism every single time. Crony Capitalism is not crony at all. That, this, is just late-stage capitalism.

Sort:  

i thought that I did call it? But granted I did keep it concise.

You did call it, but you didn't say the spooky word, blaming it on capitalism.
I don't blame you, especially with the amount of self-identifying "anarcho"-capitalists, which get extremely defensive in my experience to criticisms of capitalism.

By the way, be careful what charity you donate too. Try to find a local one in the area online or even locals to donate it to ideally.
Big charities typically throw their $$$ into companies the owner/head of the charity knows or has investments in, even if it costs multiple times more to do the same task.

Fair call. We both know what's going on it seems.

I'll be very careful with who I donate to and thanks for the reminder. I know that most of it is lost in 'expenses'. Check out my last post as I specifically mentioned it.

We have some kind of capitalism in the world today and the poverty is going down and people in the poor countries are doing much better than they did 50 years ago. Thank you capitalism for making the world a better place.
