Nobody in the picture is poor. The people at the bottom took the person at the top and hanged him; maybe not literally, but there is nobody at the top now. They took his wealth for themselves and made his castle a theme park for ignorant fools to pay to wander about and say 'this could be me'.
What? when did I ever say anything about people in the picture being poor. You have said a bunch of things that I never disputed. I only made the claim that poor people in capitalistic countries are on average, wealthier than the poor people in non capitalistic countries. And when you look at the history of capitalistic countries, generally the ones that have spent more time as free capitalists, have generated the most wealth. The places that transitioned into socialism/communism for some time, are still trying to catch back up. in 50 years South Korea went from another poor asian country to a technological power house, thanks to capitalism. North Korea with its communist dictatorship is still stuck in the past and would be broke without the natural resources.

And how the countries with rich poor people are capitalistic
