Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

[Poopadoop]

Inequality is a non-removable facet of life. Government makes it worse and capitalism makes it better.

You keep saying this but you haven't explained how capitalism reduces inequality (or if you did I missed it, sorry).

I have not suggested cruelty or psychopathy. The world is Darwin. It is best that we understand this and use the knowledge to construct the best society we can. Not doing so would be attempts at breaking the natural world in ways that doesn't get broken.

An example is how, because of the Darwin nature of people, when the government subsidizes unproductive behavior, it promotes the survival of unproductive behavior. This can be thought of as the environment selecting for behavior that harms. Applying Darwinian ideas to society has nothing to do with the barbaric notion that many think, but with promoting good and discouraging bad.

I'm not talking about interfering with the private sector in ways that are harmful. Of course that happens and of course that's stupid.

I'm talking about how you get that poor sick baby some medicine in a purely capitalist system. There's no recourse for that child's family, they're just screwed.

You said this was capitalism. It's not. Capitalism is very new in history. Where free market capitalism has thrived, we've seen vast thriving of the poor.

According to the dictionary, capitalism is "an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state." So I don't understand how there wasn't a free market economy before governments existed. What was it then?

Where we have seen the class divides you're discussing is where we haven't found capitalism and instead of found powerful governments.

Can you give some examples of places and times where this has been shown to be the case?
