Don't tell the people of Lemmy that capitalism and global trade are a large reason for the decline in overall poverty though.

Capitalism is the root cause of poverty, my guy

[–] Jackthelad 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Lol.

Before capitalism and free trade, 90% of the global population was in extreme poverty. It's now down to 10%.

Since China and other countries ended communism, poverty has declined faster than at any other point in human history.

Always wait for validation from random bootlicking Internet trolls before feeling accomplishment, that's my motto.
