The reason you are post scarcity is because other people around the world are not. This imbalance in wealth is because of capitalism

You fail to understand in your eagerness to jump on a soapbox.
The numbers simply do not lie:
There is not one reason for anyone, anywhere, to go without food, water, or shelter. That some regions lack the production is irrelevant, others over produce and still refuse to meet the needs of their own, much less others.

It’s because we’re bad at distributing resources equally. Don’t really care if you don’t like the fact I used the word capitalism.

The question is; is it capitalism that causes our inability to properly allocate resources or is it just the fact that humans are bad at allocating resources? What economic system would incentivise the equal distribution of said resources?
