Woa who said anything about communism? All I suggested is that we should take care of our citizens. We could do this for example via Universal Basic Income, which is very much capitalist (unless you abide by the common American false notion that "helping people" = communism).

Why is "most" a good enough metric? If most people have homes but my commute to work is littered with tents of homeless people, is that adequate? Should politicians just throw in the towel then and call it a day because "most" people have houses?

I think we can do better.
