This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system. It's not perfect, but neither is any other system.
Industrialization lifts people out of poverty, capitalism sinks them into poverty by stealing the value of their labor as profit.
Also what's with the phrase "lifted out of poverty?" The fuck does that mean? Why is this same phrase repeated anytime some criticizes capitalism? It's like a stock phrase or talking point that makes you sound like a robot.
Industrialization happened because of capitalism.
Industrialization happened because of individual efforts to make the lives of workers close to them easier.
