OMG! Capitalism is the only economic system that has consistently lifted most of the people out of poverty!
No, it is not! I remember when Obama wanted to introduce his medical reform, the conservatives spoke of it as the end of the United States, because the country simply cannot afford it.
I can give as an example a country that could afford it - the USSR. And in the form of complete free medical care at all levels. A country that has experienced total war destruction twice in 25 years and a huge population loss. Do you know what else the USSR could afford?
*Free housing constitutionally guaranteed for all residents. What Americans must pay for 30 years is three times the initial price. In the USSR it was impossible to be homeless. And unemployed, too, by the way.
Want more? Universal free higher education. With guaranteed employment. It is not necessary to pay for decades the money borrowed for higher education.
Pensions, it goes without saying. At 55 for women and 60 for men. For those who worked in more difficult conditions, like metalurgy, mines are 45 and 50 years old. And the price of tickets for transport or for electricity or gas in the house, which has not changed for decades and amounted to 1 or 2% of the salary ...
AndSpace exploration, remember which country was leading the space race? Or about military power. All this could afford the country of socialism. In which everyone worked for the benefit of the entire population, that is, for themselves, and not for Rothschild and Rockefeller ...
Alas, some people wanted more, they wanted to have yachts and light cigarettes from 100 dollar bills, like in Hollywood movies. Socialism was killed from within, killed by traitors at the top. But history cannot be turned back. Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours.
