Real socialism has never been tried bro.

If Europe had kept up with USA in terms of gdp, tens of millions of people globally would have permanently escaped extreme poverty.

A farm whose workers devour more food than the farm yields will starve, comrade.

Like from a gut level, capital redistribution can only work if it boots labor productivity today.

Because it is selling future farm productivity, aka the future yield of the economy, so workers that are impoverished today can invest more into their output and produce more than the difference lost from reduced investment.

That doesn’t get you elected on the left. It’s not dignified to compare the rich USA median worker to the poop global one.
