The most evil thing Capitalism has done is the gatekeeping of basic human needs of food and shelter, demanding excessive labor in exchange for the privilege of continued existence on the planet that is every human's birthright.

@earthshine before capitalism mate. The idea of human rights was invented after capitalism was wide spread. The time when the right of kings ruled their was no room for a non-productive underclass.
@earthshine the problem isn't capitalism, it's the lack of something better. As someone that lives in one of the most developed countries in the world; the shortcomings of capitalism is easily made up for. My life is made much better by systems that aren't capitalistic.
@ekg it's worth pointing out that modern capitalism is essentially the same aristocratic feudalism with extra steps. Its much more advanced and difficult or impossible to circumvent now with modern authoritarian states enforcing it.
