Comment on There's Nothing Green About Socialism - HumanProgress

Not the first time I’ve heard about this concept, and the more i look into the world the more I agree with it. Being green is kind of a luxury that not many people can afford, and the poorer people are the less they can afford green technology.

You should look a bit more into the world if you didn’t notice how good capitalism is at making the poors poorer.

There’s tons of data showing that capitalism actually makes the average joe a lot richer.

  And how many homeless does the US have?

    Prior to capitalism, the homeless would just die every winter, so I think any number >0 is actually an improvement

    I know, the US is just a little socialist, just enough to avoid having to see elderly and poor dying in the streets

    I mean that's not really something capitalism did, it's just that the country is so big that it has places with mild climates. Well, I guess paying for homeless peoples' bus tickets to actually go to those places is a thing, but not quite positive especially when you look at the context of it.

    Is the US the only example of a capitalist country you know about?
