The mindset of a capitalist wage slave. She'd have made a good plantation housemaid back in the day.

@DeusExMachina50 No it hasn't. It has been under socialist, social democratic and communist governments that the most people have been lifted out of poverty in the 20th century, more than any other century prior. If capitalism — free market or any other — had worked we wouldn't be seeing the appalling levels of global poverty that we do. Eighty years after the UN was set up and things have either gotten worse or stayed the same. If you want to see real poverty reduction and increases in living standards just look what China achieved in its first 30 years (before Deng Xioping) and Russia in 40. Go compare these two countries to India. In fact, even India made some progress under the limited protectionist policies it had before 'free market' liberalisation.

@DeusExMachina50 The biggest and apparently the most successful of recent times is China, in my opinion. Most of its industries are still, directly or indirectly, under state supervision Even the USA could be said to be a successful socialist country if one only includes the top percentile of its citizens and, possibly, those who work for the federal government.
