Reply #24: "The whole world can't live like the west" [View All]

That's the original point. You say yes it can, I say no it can't, because our system is based on inequality. You say it isn't, I ask you to show how it isn't, and then you dance around responding to those parts of my posts that you wish to and discarding the rest.

Here are some questions for you: are fewer people living in abject poverty, starvation and desperation now than a few decades ago? How about a few hundred years ago? Do fewer people die from war, disease and famine now than did in the past? Here's a better one: has the gap between the poorest societies on the planet and the richest increased, or decreased? Answer these questions, and then tell me we're moving toward the whole world having the same system as western capitalist countries. How can the rest of the world world use the engine that their subjugation is the fuel for?
