Poverty does only exist because of the unequal distribution of capitalism. Back before capitalism, when everyone was poor and life expectancies were scarcely greater than 40, life was so much better because no crab was able to climb out of the pot.
You're a fucking idiot. You can't draw those kinds of correlation to causation about life expectancies when talking about the fucking 1600's when people still believed leeches cured insanity....it's the same old claim capitalists have tried to make that tech/medical advances only exists because of the push from consumers which is completely untrue. It's a retarded argument that doesn't follow scientific method. You had rising standards of living through all of history regardless of the socioeconomic system. Using your same kind of logic we could say Ghengis Khan was a great defender of women's rights.
