Capitalism was a response to feudalism, and gave a small group of traders some space to accumulate wealth.

It was never designed to benefit the masses, and because of that, it was never going to do it by accident.
This is precisely why and how socialism was theorised.

Not wrong. Propaganda during periods like the French Revolution claimed it would liberate the masses to gin up support for the merchant class. What resulted is the merchant class just replaced the gentry and eventually royalty and the church too.

@RachelLia2003 Um no. Unless you are at least a multi millionaire venture capitalist you are not a capitalist. Words have definitions.

It is a big club but you are not in it. And if you are not in the club you are being exploited by it.

And I guess you don't own anything from China?

@RachelLia2003 Thsts the problem with these yo-yos they don’t realize that. The same thing with oil, if they realized how many daily products were made with it they would shut up fast
