>It really is remarkable how efficient capitalism is at ensuring that proles are born with nothing and die with nothing.

Compared to what?

[edmccard]

Who says he's comparing it to anything? Maybe the remark is not about contrasting capitialism to some other system, but more about comparing its purported benefits to its actual outcome.

[reubeniv]

He does, 'efficient' is a relative term.

[KekDemaga]

Wouldn't that mean it's less of a capitalism problem and more of a problem generally since it hasn't been solved in any other economic system in practice?
