Is there any way to avoid capitalism though
We can move beyond capitalism and into socialism, several countries already do that.
Are there countries where there aren’t people living paycheck to paycheck? I really can’t think of any, unless we count some social safety net things but some capitalist countries have that
Socialist countries generally have better safety nets, like China. Even Cuba, poor and sanctioned as it is, takes better care of its poorest than capitalist countries do.
China has a shitload of people living paycheck to paycheck in miserable conditions. Up until 2014 (and even still) people outside of cities didn’t even get proper social safety nets. Arguably even some capitalist countries are better off there.
I’m sure in theory China will have it better than anyone else at some point and whatnot but when it comes to this meme, it’s not a great example tbh
China eradicated extreme poverty, and has been extremely consistent when it comes to improving quality of life year over year. Imperialist countries may have higher quality of life in some areas, such as the Nordics, but they are regularly deteriorating thanks to capitalism while China is regularly rising thanks to socialism.
Like I said, theoretically it will even better than those capitalist countries, at some point. It’s just not the case yet
Sure, but already it’s better to be poor in China than poor in the US.
