They told us that capitalism gave us cars, phones and jobs. The truth is capitalism gave just a few people cars, phones and jets, and gave the rest of the world poverty, pollution and debts. Capitalism has not failed because it is weak, it has failed because it did exactly what it was designed to do. To make the rich richer and the poor poorer. I will tell you how!!
(1) It creates wealth, but for who!! Look at the world today, 8 men own more wealth than half of the world combined, in Venezuela we hear and see oil flowing every day, but the people who live on that oil cannot even afford to drink good and clean water, that is not success, that is theft legalized by economics. Capitalism says "work hard and you will succeed." Tell that to the farmer who works from 5am to 7pm and still connot feed his family. While one CEO earns his whole years salary in 10 minutes. Hard work is not the problem, the system is.
(2) It destroys the plants for profits!! Capitalism only cares about profit not people, companies cut down Forests, pollute our rivers and warm the planets not because they have to, but because it is cheaper. When the plant burns, they will not suffer, they will buy air conditioner, buy clean water, and fly away. But we will suffer. A system that kills the earth to make money has failed.
(3) It turns humans into products!! Under capitalism, you are not a human being, you are just a customer or a worker. Your health is business, your education is business, your food is business. If you have no money, you have no value, is that successful world? A world where sick children dies because his mother cannot afford hospital bills? That is not freedom, that is cruelty. They will say "give us another system". We don't need another system today. We just need to admit that this one has failed. Capitalism has not only lifted the world, but it has looted the world.
