Megapopular right-wing YouTube channel PragerU’s “moral case for capitalism” fails to address capitalism’s massive defects — its injustice, exploitation, and instability. Instead, it offers a glib pep talk about why modern society is better than feudalism.

    I’ve seen parts of the world where people currently live in partial cardboard boxes with dirty mattresses as their only furniture. They still live as if the are not part of the modern world. And it isn’t pretty, life there is harsh and the reality of subsistence is extremely difficult.

    Do you mean any major US city? Speaking like this reality doesn’t exist the capitalist system you’re currently deep throating.

    Edit: Better yet, please list the specific “parts of the world” you’ve seen.

      No I’m not talking about U.S. cities, but places in Mexico and Asia specifically. And if I am deep throating the capitalist system, it’s because I have wisdom to do so. You can quit being a jerk and maybe listen to someone’s else’s point of view once in awhile.

        You just walk around with your eyes closed or are painfully ignorant if you don’t see the same things in US cities. Maybe you should open your eyes to the actual reality of capitalism and accept that people are living in these conditions because of capitalism.

        Just FYI Mexico and nearly all Asian countries are explicitly capitalist or have market-centered economies. Even “communist” China.
