If You Hate Poverty, You Should Love Capitalism

[ratnaantiqu3]

I think this capitalism helps many small people who are deprived.
provide more income opportunities so they can support their families.
Although some agree and no, I personally like capitalism.

[Lanatsa]

I do not think that makes sense, poverty happens because of a lack of understanding of a person or group about how to manage finances, people who scored high in education is not necessarily smart in managing finance. I think all we have to do is help it out of the kemiskanan instead of giving it money because money is only a short-term solution.

But if you do live on a certain country which do have other kind of government or kind of ruling then it would really be more harder for those people to suit out their selves on making a living unlike on have a capitalism type of government i do really agree on this kind where a certain circulation of funds not only focusing on its capital or central city but the income itself would really be mostly focused on its city itself.If this is the case more jobs since there are more infrastructures or projects due to have the capability of the funds being used by it.

Capitalism is agonizing and will be dead soon. In the Western world the American Dream is dead, with very few exceptions nobody can become rich and make an commercial empire any more, because all the slots are taken. We are now going towards an oligarchy of corporations who actually will decide all the laws - this has nothing to do with capitalism any more.

[sordinihandbag]

Yea I do so exactly as you said No exception in any case

[thrushzodiac8]

We shouldn't just blame the capitalism. There are many who has physical strength to earn their living but they don't even try to do so

[algerianimminent5]

That would be a fantasy if bitcoins can get stopped totally by the Govt because afterall it has to enforce them under global pressure

[eurobend6]

I cant say because I really don't get where is the relation between poverty and capitalism? -_-

[CHENIEN]

Capitalism are produce by a big group of powerful personalities that having a power to invest any forms of businesses, and mostly capitalism are form and executed by a private investors, and those people having a large contribution of taxes that supports and contributes economic development in our country. For me I don't really hate poverty status of living but I like capitalism, because capitalism also helps poverty line of life living change, because capitalism helps also community development. And sometimes poverty will disappear because of the capitalists people that invest businesses on extreme poverty community, that those poor people could benifited also on the job offers with high payments of salary.

I think that everything must have advantages and disadvantages including the economic system. Capitalist economic system was embraced from the 16th century to the present time. This system gives everyone full freedom to carry out economic activities and gain big profits. But this system also has a shortage namely unfair business competition that can also cause poverty.

[Notcalculator]

The video does have a point. The truth is, capitalism is the only system that works. It does create a huge division between the poor and the rich but atleast it tries to create opportunities for the poor to pull themselves up. Unlike other systems like communism and socialsm, where the only thing you can do to pull yourself up is through having political power. What i dont like about the video is "More capitalism =  more growth". Whose growth exactly is he pertaining to? It cant be of the poor because more capitalism would just put more money to the rich. it's why people cant afford a living simply by working 8 hours a day. Extreme capitalism is bad as it wipes out the middle class.

[Derbi Fransisco]

Poverty is not the will but the lineage. Poverty will not be forever with the basic requirements of hard work, thrifty, meticulous and likes to save / invest. The capitalist is not the ultimate goal but a necessity of life in the world. Do not make your life just a treasure hunt.

[jayhawk1]

This is a decent youtube clip emphasizing positive aspects of capitalism.

More fuel for the discussion on capitalism fire.

The main point alleged here is: "world poverty has fallen by 80% since 1970".

They claim capitalism is the main driving force behind reduced levels of poverty over the past 5 or so decades, which in turn implies capitalism creates elevated living standards.

But do you think that anyone in their right sense of mind would love to be in poverty? Poverty is like a curse and nobody likes it, although I think there are some fools that loves to find themselves in a very bad situation. Since I’m not that type of a person, I would say I’m into capitalism. LOL.

[diva.man]

In my opinion, capitalism is a very democratic social system!

You can see that people can freely express their dissatisfaction with the government!

In such a democratic society, we can better develop our own economy!

[unicyclistclapas0]

Am I the only one who doesn't even know about capitalism?

the future of the world is united under 1 Goverment

In every aspect of democracy or capitalism, poverty is always coexistent. It's existence will never
be circumscribe. History shows and teaches us that in centuries of civilization, poverty resides besides
it. Poverty isn't a mere situation or position incurable or completely irreversible, it's more like a choice.
If you chose to remain as such and do nothing you will live as is. But with the right strategy, persistence
and decisions, one should be able to alleviate and free oneself from such a situation. Maybe capitalism
can help, as the video suggest. But I believe it takes more than just that to solve poverty, it's just how
the world works I guess.

Capitalist has help alot in the developing of a nation it has increased standard of living of the people it help local investor

[St4yInTh3D4rk]

Do you know? 90% of total world's asset and money is holding by 1% of population,so which means still the world people in the poverty,it will be gone that assets are shared to all the people of the world but it is not possible though we and you are also in the poverty line when we compare that 1% of people.

[potterbean5]

Yea I do so exactly as you said No exception in any case

If capitalism reduced poverty, then it had created another bad things. The wealthy people are in charge of everything. As a matter fact, the working class are striving to get in better position. However, the wealthy would only allow their relatives or someone who is beneficial for them. It is all calculated. I am not against capitalism, for even communism has many disadvantages. We should just adapt with every change, otherwise we will be doomed.
