Silas Marner was so hated by my English class our teacher cried. It turns out it was what she wrote her master’s thesis on and no one agreed with her about it being good.

Because directing more wealth away from feudal authorities/noble families to private individuals was good for increasing wealth distribution. This happened at different times in different places.

Capitalism only benefits capitalists

Nah, it can benefit the rank and file provided the wealth was poorly distributed before by creating more jobs. This is exactly what happened when it was adopted by most nations in the 19th century.

Fewer people are poor despite the capitalists, not because of.

China’s for-profit business investments in Africa since 2000 are an example if capitalist policies bringing people out of poverty. Im not sure your claim has the validity you think it does.

Yet fewer people are poor because we instituted capitalist policies. Moving away from mercantilism was a great idea and benefitted most to a greater degree than mercantilism provides. Now we need to move beyond capitalism to address the failures of capitalism.

The fact is money is relative. $100k USD is a lot of money in New Guinea and is not going to buy as much in London. This is why it is perfectly acceptable for someone like Thiel to assemble a private army with his wealth while people starve because they haven’t worked the grind correctly like Musk, Thiel or the Mountbatten-Windsors have /s.

American news media talked about Bukele less because Bukele's allies advertise more in US media.

It has danced around notions of being a democratic republic.

I have nothing to directly point my finger at but I wouldn'tbe surprised if most major US energy companies played a role to some degree.

What do you think your reply means?

The country went to shit before Chavez died as a result of many backing away from trade as a result of US demands as well as a slew of bad policy choices that turned them from a food exporting nation to one that imported food which collapsed the economy. Chavez and Maduro instituted price controls which have harmed the agricultural economy significantly which further harmed things.

That being said while their results were bad their intentions were good which is not going to be true of whatever puppet government the USA would install.

Digg was good once too. These things change.
