    The system which produces mega yachts also has the best record for feeding people.

    The hammer and sickle on the chalkboard there is a flag under which tens of millions of people starved in the last century.

      considering most of the world is capitalist and a lot of the world live with food scarcity i don’t think capitalism is doing very well.

        Well then explain to me why the biggest capitalist system in the world, the USA, can feed the vast majority of people in their borders. No one here lives with food scarcity… right? Surely they don’t throw a ton of food away either. And homelessness shouldn’t be an issue either with this incredible system. Right?

      I’m a fan of the cap them at 500million, then donate a park with a statue of them saying “Capitalism Winner” or some shit. All further profits go to making sure people aren’t starving or living in the streets.

      Addendum: 500million is a completely arbitrary number.
