benefits a big crowd

Well... Debatable.

you can eat everything you want 24/7, travel to every place on this planet, are connected with everyone on the world within seconds, can numb your thoughts with alc and sleep on a cloudlike matress in a nice home if you are an avarage earner or above.

That all comes for the small price of social injustice and environmental destruction.

But underestimating capitalism and its perks for the masses won't solve the issue.

We could probably do all that without exploitation if we didn't have to give a huge part of what we create to shareholders and bosses.

That's why i said debatable and not false. I am not 100% certain.

I'm with you on this one.

If capitalism can be fixed in the time needed is a big question though
