Well that may be the single dumbest thing I've ever read. Extreme poverty didn't exist before capitalism? Virtually the entire world lived in extreme poverty, 94% of humanity in 1800. Yet you sit here and write this nonsense on your laptop, in your air conditioning, with your fancy medical care and a car outside. Are you royalty that you have such things? Oh wait, royalty didn't even have such things. Maybe go spend some time in a hut in Niger, or a tribal village on the Amazon, and report back on how extreme poverty didn't exist before modern times. Sheesh.
