Poverty is a necessary component of capitalism. It’s not arbitrary, it’s calculated.

Because the people in power benefit from the status quo, and they’ll sooner blow up the planet than live in a world where they’re not on top.

I mean, glad you think that, but there’s this stupid thing call reality that is pretty lame yet it is what it is.

I know what you’re saying, I’m just raising the class question. There are “good” reasons for the rich to use capitalism, after all.

Pointing out that the rich are acting according to their own material interests is a powerful way to show the (sadly) uneducated masses that they should do the same!

The reason is that it’s extremely difficult to reach a consensus as to what that “better” thing is.
