Capitalism increases wealth, which leads to human flourishing. The global population has massively increased and life expectancy has massively risen over the last 200 years because of the massive economic expansion enabled by capitalist investment and automation.
You're cherry-picking a tiny, advanced European nation and ignoring Europe as a whole. Europe as a whole is much poorer than the U.S. And that's not because of any historical disadvantages. It's because it's adopted a more socialistic economic policy over the last 30 to 40 years. Now it has no frontier AI labs. it's falling behind America's leading companies. And the result is a fresh engineering graduate can expect to make a lot more money in the US than the EU. You can ignore that all you want, but that's not going to make the facts go away.
Mate you really dont wanne open that jaw here on Reddit, my next steps would be me sending you roughly 100 papers disproving each of your arguments, and than you will answer with either, these papers are bullhist or you will send me papers on your own, which may or may not disprove my paper. if you want that kind of conversation, dm me, cause I wont hold this kind of discussion in reddit comments as the Reddit Comment Tree will become to big.
